Post School Opportunities The study of Computing Applications Stage 6 provides students with knowledge, understanding and skills that form a valuable foundation for a range of courses at university, other tertiary institutions and private providers. In addition, the study of Computing Applications Stage 6 assists students to prepare for employment and full and active participation as citizens. In particular, there are opportunities for students to gain recognition in vocational education and training. Teachers and students should be aware of these opportunities.
Recognition of Student Achievement in Vocational Education and Training (VET) Wherever appropriate, the skills and knowledge acquired by students in their study of HSC courses should be recognised by industry and training organisations. Recognition of student achievement means that students who have satisfactorily completed HSC courses will not be required to repeat their learning in courses in TAFE NSW or other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).
RTOs, such as TAFE NSW, provide industry training and issue qualifications within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
The degree of recognition available to students in each subject is based on the similarity of outcomes between Higher School Certificate courses and industry training packages endorsed within the AQF. Training packages are documents that link an industry’s competency standards to AQF qualifications. More information about industry training packages can be found on the National Training Information Service (NTIS) website (www.ntis.gov.au).
Recognition by TAFE NSW TAFE NSW conducts vocational education and training courses in an extensive range of industry areas and in general education for prevocational and foundation purposes. The details of TAFE courses are published annually in the TAFE NSW Handbook and are available on the internet at www.tafensw.edu.au Details of HSC/TAFE credit transfer arrangements are updated regularly on the HSC/TAFE Credit Transfer website (www.tafensw.edu.au/hsctafe). Details of credit transfer arrangements between HSC Content Endorsed Courses and TAFE NSW are published on the website when the credit transfer arrangements are endorsed by TAFE NSW Educational Services Divisions and the Board of Studies. Teachers should refer to the HSC/TAFE Credit Transfer website and be aware of recognition available to their students through the course of Computing Applications
22
Recognition by other Registered Training Organisations Students may also negotiate recognition into a training package qualification with another Registered Training Organisation. Each student will need to provide the RTO with evidence of satisfactory achievement in Computing Applications CEC Stage 6 so that the degree of recognition available can be determined.
