Understanding the terminologyVocational Education and Training (VET)

VET is a style of learning that focuses on learningthrough doing.

VET qualications are recognised nationally, and aredeveloped with industry consultation and for industry-specic requirements. This gives you real-life, practical andindustry-relevant skills. Most courses also provide you withthe opportunity to undertake work placements so you canget a real understanding of the industry and an opportunity

to develop tangible links to employment. More detailedinformation is available on the National Training InformationService website: www.training.gov.au

In Years 11 and 12, VET subjects ranging from Certicate Ito Certicate IV are available, with many continuing throughto Advanced Diploma level after Year 12.

Many VET Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses allowyou to articulate through to university, which reduces thetime and money you need for a degree. Where there is anarticulation arrangement, you may receive generous credittowards your university degree based on the VET study youhave undertaken.

The Ofce of Tasmanian Assessment,Standards and Certication (TASC)previously the Tasmanian Qualications Authority (TQA)

TASC is the qualications authority for Tasmania.It makes decisions about senior secondary courses,assessment, certicates, qualications and the applicationto these of national and state standards.

TASC subjects

TASC subjects provide a broad range of learningopportunities which can lead to employment and furthereducation.

TASC subjects are organised into four levels of difculty levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 (with 4 being the most difcult).

Level 3 and 4 subjects, also known aspre-tertiarysubjects,can contribute to an Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking(ATAR) (more information following).

Level 1 and 2 subjects are non-pre-tertiary and do not counttowards an ATAR but do count towards the TCE. They canbe preliminary or foundation study for a pre-tertiary program.

More detailed information is available on the TASC website:www.tasc.tas.gov.au

Tertiary Entrance score (TE)

TASC calculates a score for each pre-tertiary subject.

Your TE score is the combined scores of your best four or vepre-tertiary subjects over two years. At least three of thesemust be completed in your nal year of senior secondary study.The TE score is then used to calculate an ATAR.

Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking (ATAR)

The ATAR is used by Australian Universities to allocate placesto students. Your ATAR is calculated automatically by TASCfrom your results in Level 3 and 4 (pre-tertiary) subjects.The University of Tasmania has indicated that from 2016onwards, students will also have to meet the standards forthe Tasmanian Certicate of Education (TCE) to be eligiblefor the calculation of an ATAR.

Entry requirements vary by course and by university.Generally, the higher your ATAR, the better your chances areof being accepted into your preferred course. That is why thepersonalised learning support you will receive is so important.It will help you to maximise your ATAR.

TASC will advise el igible students of their TE score and ATARin late December.

Tasmanian Certicate of Education (TCE)

The Tasmanian Cer ticate of Education is a qualication thathas ve standards:

Everyday adult reading, writing and communication(literacy skills)

Everyday adult maths (numeracy skills) Everyday adult use of computers and the internet (ICT skills) Completing a full program as part of your senior secondary

education and training (participation and achievement) Development and review of plans for your future

(Pathway Planning).Students must meet all ve standards to achieve a TasmanianCerticate of Education.

Full details on the Tasmanian Certicate of Educationcanbe found at the TASC website: www.tasc.tas.gov.au

Making up a course of studyA full-time senior secondary course in Years 11 and 12 willtotal a minimum of 600 hours per year.

Year 12 students should include a minimum of two pre-tertiarysubjects or a Certicate program.

If you are interested in a pathway to avocational qualication

Your course should be centred around a vocational (VET)certicate program in your chosen industry area. This can lead

you to direct employment, higher level Certicate and Diplomaprograms, and university courses.

You can make up the 600 hours by choosing some TASCaccredited subjects to add to your cer ticate program. Thesemay complement your vocational learning, and may also includesome recreational and interest subjects.

If you are interested in a pathway to aUniversity qualication

You will need to plan a two-year course keeping in mind thatsome subjects are prerequisites to certain university courses.

Most Year 11 courses should feature some English and Mathsbecause they are fundamental to a broad range of optionsavailable at the end of Year 12.

You can make up the 600 hours by choosing fourTASC subjects.

These may be directly relevant to your career direction andmay also include some recreation and interest subjects.

How do you know what level to do?

Year 10 students enrolling in Year 11 in 2016

It is really important that you talk to your teachers early in theyear to work out what standard you are at, and if this is goodenough for the types of things you want to do next year inYear 11.

At enrolment, the course counsellors will discuss your resultsand advise you about which subjects will suit you best in Years

11 and 12.

The best indicator is how well you have done in the past.

Look at your results in English-literacy and Maths-numeracy: If you are achieving an A/B (or C in consultation with

teachers) in Year 10 Australian Curriculum subjects, youcould enrol in Level 3 subjects in Year 11.

If you are achieving a C/D rating in Australian Curriculumsubjects, Level 2 subjects provide the necessary foundationleading to Level 3 in Year 12.

In the areas of Arts and Technology, a strong interest andexperience in optional classes in High School or a personalinvolvement in community-based learning could give you

condence to try Level 3 subjects.

Year 11 students enrolling in Year 12 in 2016

Discuss your proposed learning pathway with your seniorsecondary school/college teachers.
