[vet-it] Cert III in IT

[Kent Beveridge]

Hi Dan,
A couple of snippets of useful info for ya...
1.  Allan Barnes has a workbook available for the Cert II / III in I.T. available  and a teacher CD is also available. No doubt others are out there too, I just arent aware of them...
2.  Online is a variety of useful stuff...checkout the www.australia.gov.au <http://mail.stbc.vic.edu.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.australia.gov.au>   site and click on the education and training link to see a host of information rich sites!
 
I too am running the Cert II/III course here next year...its not the course itself that's the problem, its the setup paperwork BEFORE the course starts that is the pain! We are using Allan's workbooks here for the courses, plus other materials I have sourced from online sites.
 
Suggest you go to the www.NTIS.gov.au site, download the ICA05 package and go from there. It contains all you need for your course. The ref in point 2 above is worth adding to your favorites list.
 
In answer to your comment about delivery time..., yes, the Cert III can be done in 2 years, but it is a full on course!
 
hope this helps your planning and keep in touch if you wish to swap ideas...I'm always open to that..

Hi all, Dan Butler from Cranbourne SC here with a question or two that
somebody may be able to help me with.

We are introducing VET IT next year and enrolling the students in Cert III
IT.  We are going to squeeze the Cert III in over two years - is this
possible to do?

If so, to gain the Cert III what units do they need to complete?  The VCAA
VET IT booklet talks about a course for partial completion but we want the
students to do the full thing.

Do we enrol the kids in Cert III, do the 8 core units of the Cert II and
then do the 5 common core units of Cert III and then the chosen stream
units (we would do the applications stream)?

I've been given the job of designing the course and have been given little
assistance other than time release.  I've found a few resources that look
quite good but can't find much information on the admin/red tape side of
things.  Our RTO we are using is a bit hazy on the requirements as well.

Would greatly appreciate any advice.  Also, if there is anyone out there
who would be willing to allow me to visit for a chat, that would be
fantastic.

Thanks

Dan
