Message from the North Coast TAFE Institute Director

TVET offers exciting choices for students who are looking for practical learning with pathways into TAFE, uni or work. Check out past students’ success stories in this guide – they illustrate some of the great opportunities offered by a TVET course.

North Coast TAFE would love to be part of your pathway to the future, so I invite you to consider a TVET program when choosing your HSC subjects.

Acknowledgement of countryNorth Coast TAFE recognises and acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we learn and work together. We are committed to building relationships, respect and opportunities for all Aboriginal people in our region.

Elizabeth McGregor

North Coast TAFE has a long and proud record of working with government and non-government schools through TVET (TAFE-delivered Vocational Education and Training).

2017 COURSE GUIDE

Benefits of VET coursesA vocational course will equip students with relevant knowledge and skills valued by employers and will help make students more job ready.

It will also help students gain:

■ a nationally recognised award under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) – a valuable qualification recognised by industry and other training providers

■ more confidence and independence

■ insight into the type of career they might like, helping them make better career decisions

■ experience in an adult learning environment.

Students entering Years 11 and 12 can undertake vocational education and training (VET) courses that count towards their units of study and provide nationally recognised qualifications as part of their HSC. A large range of courses are available for local high school students to study. These courses are delivered at local secondary schools or TAFE campuses. When VET courses in Year 11 and 12 are taught by TAFE teachers at TAFE campuses (or sometimes at schools) they are called TAFE-delivered VET courses – or TVET courses.

Chloe ChampanAfter living in Japan for 12 months as a

ROTARY exchange student, Chloe Champan

developed an interest in the travel industry and

the co-ordination of events. So when choosing

her HSC subjects TAFE's TVET course - Travel,

Tourism and Events was an obvious choice.

She says "This course helped guide me on my

way to pursue further

study in my chosen

course. The teachers and

facilities were great and

contributed to my success

at being accepted to

continue my studies at

the Diploma level."

Did you know? Completing a TVET qualification at North Coast TAFE as part of a student’s HSC can ensure they receive guaranteed placement* in selected North Coast TAFE courses after they finish school. It’s a great kick-start and a chance to continue studies on a career path of interest.

*Eligibility and course availability conditions apply.

What are the course costs for TAFE-delivered courses?TAFE provides TVET courses to all schools and school systems on a fee-for-service basis. The Department of Education and Communities does not pass on these fees to government school students.

However, non-government schools may require their students to pay additional fees to contribute to the cost of TAFE-delivered courses.

Speak to the school Careers Advisor or VET Coordinator for further information regarding course costs.

Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)Students may include one Board Developed VET course in the calculation of their ATAR. HSC exams in VET courses are optional.

Students and parents should read the 2017 TVET guide for high school students. While reading, it's a good idea to think about what the student is interested in and careers they may like to start learning about. It’s important that the right TVET courses are chosen and the student gets the most out of their TVET experience.

Students, parents and Careers Advisors should discuss potential options, pathways and a selection of courses that meet the student's needs and goals.

Fill in the 2017 Expression of Interest (EOI) form. The EOI form can be downloaded from northcoasttafe.edu.au or provided by the school's VET Coordinator or Careers Advisor.

The EOI form should be signed by the student, parent or guardian and the school principal. TVET course codes must be included on the EOI form. They are found on the local course insert available from the VET Coordinator or Careers Advisor.

Submit the 2017 TVET Expression of Interest form to the school’s Careers Advisor before the closing date of 16 September 2016.

Did you know that you can study some TVET courses online? Studying TVET online is a new and flexible alternative to attending a TAFE campus. It allows you to study around other HSC commitments and helps reduce travel time and costs. While TVET online students are well-supported, you will need to be a self-directed learner with good time management and independent study skills. Please check in the locations section if your course is offered online.

Board Developed courses are developed by the Board of Studies. These 240 hour courses can be examinable and can count towards the calculation of a student’s ATAR.

Board Endorsed courses are endorsed by the Board of Studies but are not examinable and therefore do not contribute to the ATAR.

Students may be able to undertake additional units of study in some courses to gain additional qualifications. Students must be enrolled in, or have completed, the 240 hour course before enrolling in an extension or specialisation course. Students who successfully complete an extension or specialisation course will receive additional vocational qualifications.

Extension and specialisation courses are available for study in:

■ Animal Studies

■ Business Services

■ Construction

■ Financial Services

■ Hospitality

■ Information and Digital Technology

■ Metal and Engineering

■ Primary Industries

■ Retail Services

Extension courses can be available as one unit (60 hour), two unit (120 hour), three unit (180 hour) or four unit (240 hour) courses. Board Developed extension courses do not contribute to the calculation of an ATAR and there is no exam.

VET courses count towards HSC unit credit. The Board of Studies Teaching & Education Standards NSW (BOSTES) classifies them as either Board Developed courses or Board Endorsed courses.

Exclusions may apply to some VET courses. Please check with the school VET Coordinator or Careers Advisor regarding a student's pattern of study.

Work placementStudents may have work placement as a mandatory requirement. All Board Developed courses have compulsory work placement of 35 hours for each two units of study.

Students with special needsStudents with special needs are encouraged to enrol in and complete VET courses delivered at school or TAFE.

Parents, teachers and students should carefully consider:

■ student career choices

■ the recommendation of the School Learning Support Team

■ the likelihood of the student achieving all or some of the competencies or elements of competency for the course

■ the mandatory work placement requirements for the course

■ the student’s ability to complete the required hours of attendance.

Students with disabilities or learning difficulties are required to submit additional information that will enable support requirements to be determined prior to undertaking the course. Information about this is available from local high schools.

Recognition of Prior Learning, advanced standing and credit transferStudents can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), including credits for relevant subjects completed with another registered training organisation.

Speak to the Course Coordinator if it appears that a student may be able to claim recognition or credit for specific skills in a course.

Advanced standing refers to units of competence that a student will receive credit for in subsequent qualifications. All vocational education qualifications or training completed as part of a student's HSC are recognised by TAFE and other VET providers. Students are not required to repeat training completed at school.

More information on RPL and credit transfer is available on the North Coast TAFE website.

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships are more than just part-time jobs – they’re a great way to set a student up for the career they want while they are completing their HSC.

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships are available to all Year 10, 11 and 12 high school students in NSW. They allow students to commence an apprenticeship or complete a traineeship while at school.

A school-based apprenticeship or traineeship combines paid work and training.

What can students achieve if they undertake a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship?■ Higher School Certificate – in many cases

achieving an ATAR

■ a nationally recognised vocational qualification – usually at Certificate II or III level

■ a Certificate of Proficiency issued by State Training Services for the successful completion of a traineeship or apprenticeship

■ paid part-time work

■ valuable industry experience

■ a head start to a student's career.

What are the main features of school-based apprenticeships and traineeships?School-based apprentices work part-time and undertake the first stage of their apprenticeship training before the end of the HSC year. School-based apprentices commence employment as a full-time apprentice after their HSC, providing they have successfully completed both their on-the-job and off-the-job training program during their senior high school years.

School-based trainees work part-time and complete their traineeships by the end of their HSC year.

School-based apprentices and trainees

How will a school-based apprenticeship/traineeship fit in with the HSC?All school-based apprentices must study HSC VET courses that match the training provided to first year full-time apprentices. These HSC VET courses will generally contribute a minimum of four units of HSC credit out of the 22 units required for the HSC. The formal training undertaken by a school-based trainee will also contribute a minimum of four units of credit required for the HSC.

Additional HSC unit credits may be applicable for both school-based apprenticeship and school-based traineeship courses depending on the qualification.

School-based apprentices and trainees may also elect to undertake the industry-based learning Board Endorsed course that can contribute up to four additional units of HSC credit. Assessment of these units will be based on evidence of industry-based skills built up through paid employment as an apprentice or trainee during the HSC year.

Further information on school-based apprenticeships and traineeships is available at www.sbatinnsw.info or contact the school's VET Coordinator or Careers Advisor.
