[vet-it] VET IT course and ENTER score

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Colin,

 I think you are double counting here.
In the past when VET eg. IT was not scored it was a flat 10% of the average of your top four subjects.
When it became scored assessment, it became like any other scored subject - either a top four or a 10% bonus as 5th or 6th.

 There is an exception ( of sorts ) with VET Cisco CCNA where for each of the 2 years of the program a 10% bonus is given along with a Unit 3-4 sequence credit towards the VCE. So, a student completes:
    1. Cisco CCNA semesters 1 and 2 -- reward is a VCE 3-4 sequence satisfactory completed PLUS 10 % bonus on the ENTER
    2. Cisco CCNA semesters 3 and 4 -- reward is another VCE 3-4 sequence satisfactory completed PLUS another 10 % bonus on the ENTER

 As Cisco is not scored assessment, it can't be a top four subject for the ENTER.

 Hope that helps 

Kevork

Hi all,

Im looking for any official documentation of information I believe I was 
given at a PD on VET courses.

It relates to the ENTER score for VET subjects that are recognised as a Unit 
3-4 sequence (as is VET IT).

My understanding was it can count as one of the Primary four subjects toward 
the ENTER score AND that you get a 10% bonus of the average of these four 
primary subjects for completion of the VET subject.

If it is not one of your primary four subjects you get 10% of its result as 
a fifth (or sixth subject) AND you still get the 10% of the average of the 
primary four subjects.

Am I understanding the ruling correctly or is this a misunderstanding?
