[vet-mm] VCE VET IDM - see attached!!

Tue Aug 5 12:12:17 EST 2008

I for one really like the idea of students having a Cert 2 after a year.
Mainly because committing to a 2 year course can be a big step for year
10s, unless Multimedia is offered in year 10.  I feel it will turn way
the undecided students to other courses.

Also trying to make year 11 a cert 2 and year 12 a cert 3 by having
program 1 mirror program 2 severely limits the options for students.

And what is it with all the stage, scenic art, and props competencies,
when there's a theatre courses?

Because it was not possible to complete the new Cert 3 in one year,
there was a dilemma, ie that students finish Units 1-4 with only a Cert
2 and partial Cert 3. 
I think industry, tertiary institutions and most teachers would agree it
is better to come out of VCE with a completed Cert 3. Doing Cert 2 and 3
really requires 3 years so some schools may offer the Cert 2 at year 10
and then go onto Cert 3 at year 11 and 12.
