[vet-it] Cert III New course

[Nash, Peter N]

Depending on the stream,

 

Around 8 more units (24 all up - includes the pre-requisites from y11
[cert2 stuff])

 

Therefore you will probably have

 

1 more core,

Around 2 extra stream subjects

And 4 to 5 electives

 

What you say is right - they must pick up the other units to complete
the cert 3

Subject: [vet-it] Cert III New course

 

Hi all,

 

At parent teacher night last night I had a parent ask me how many units
their son would have to do at TAFE when they finished their units 1 to 4
in VET IT at school. Their son is doing units 1 & 2 this year and next
year will do 3 & 4 next year.

 

According to the VCAA book, for the Application stream they need to
complete 8 units to get their Units 1 & 2 and 7 nits to complete units 3
& 4. How many more units will they need to do at TAFE to get the full
certificate?

 

All up this is 15 units. On page 5 of the book it says they need to do
the core units of competence from Cetificate II which are units 1 & 2.
Then for Cert III they have to do six common core units PLUS four
specialists core stream units PLUS four elective units.

 

The students here will have at the end of their year 12: 15 core units
of which 2 are from the Applications stream. Does this mean that they
still have to do another 2 specialist core stream units PLUS four
elective units at TAFE to get their full certificate?

 

As you can see I'm a bit confused about it all. Any help would be
appreciated.
