SAMPLE OF TAFE COURSES LEADING TO UNIVERSITY DEGREES
An articulation agreement has been reached between TAFE and the universities for several courses; this agreement guarantees
a direct pathway to the higher level degree course in the same area of study and also provides credit with exemptions for earlier
learning at TAFE. In effect some degree courses can then be shortened by up to 18 months.

YEAR 12 HANDBOOK 2022 17VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET )
As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), John Curtin College of the Arts (RTO 50549) provides nationally
recognised certificate courses in arts related industries. The College in addition to this forms partnerships
with external RTO’s to deliver some qualifications to our students not on our scope.
This training allows students the opportunity to leave the college well equipped to seek employment, acquire
transferable soft skills, assist them with further competency based training at TAFE or to pursue further study
at a tertiary institution.
The two key principles in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs are:
•The use of nationally accredited training qualifications. These are sets of nationally
endorsed industry standard training products that include units of competency which
describe the skills and knowledge needed to perform effectively in the workplace/
industry.
•Work place hours / on-the-job training in the skills required within the industry area the
students are studying. Many of the students have the opportunity to gain these valuable
work skills here on campus through specialist tutors, industry workshops, industry
excursions/incursions, IT software packages available, regular lunch time performances,
theatre rehearsals and performances.
The VET programs offered at the college are in the following area:
John Curtin College of the Arts RTO 50549 for:
CUA20120 Certificate II in Dance - Contemporary- Years 11/12
CUA30120 Certificate III in Dance - Ballet- Years 10/11/12

The FOH course is available to students for entry into the course in Year Nine only. This course cannot be
commenced in later years.
Please note that if payment of annual charges has not been made in full prior to the first performance and
there is no payment plan in place, the student may not be able to access some resources such as costumes,
external guest tutors, extension workshops and performances.
In the best interests of the students the courses are designed so that should a student leave the College at
the end of Year Eleven they are able to receive a Statement of Attainment for the competencies achieved
towards the qualification.

• outcomes are relevant to students;
• expectations are clear and structured;
• students feel empowered to learn;
• improved academic performance/attendance;
• improved self-image;
• greater self-motivation; and
• student centered learning.
Experience has shown that a further flow-on effect has been witnessed
by both classroom teachers and parents.

mental health issue is essential when demonstrating a need for special
examination arrangements in upper school through the School
Curriculum and Standards Authority.
