[vet-mm] changes to training package - any more info?

[ARNOTT Suz]

I agree Claire....
The sooner the package is public (I contacted NTIS and they don't have a
date for it to be put up yet, although it will be in the near future)
the better...so we can stop speculating on what the package may hold,
and how it differs, so we can plan strategies for next year.
I know it starts to sound like a panic, however, our students have to
make informed choices for their course selection next year during next
term. We need to be able to help them with their choices, by having a
better understanding of what we will be expected to cover, and that
again will be back to the VCAA to determine which modules/units we will
cover.

Hi Suzi,
VCAA are convening an advisory committee to look at the new TP. 
It's hard to tell what the units are about, but it seems to me many are
similar to the current VET MM cert and not more Media Studies
orientated. There appears to be units on animation, digital imaging,
scripting and writing units and that's just going by the summary you
mention and not having access to details.I don't think the focus of the
course will necessarily change greatly.
I wish they would publish the TP so we can see what we are looking at!!!
Regards
Claire :-)
