Special VASS New Users Training

This session will be conducted at the VCAA Assessment Centre, 189 Urquhart Street, Coburg (Melways map reference 18 A12) and will run for three hours from 1.00pm to 4.00pm.   

The session will cover all aspects of VASS data entry for the remainder of the 2008 school year (enrolments for VCE, VET and VCAL and the entry of results).

Participants attending this session will still be able to attend one of the full days VASS New User’s Professional Development sessions which will be held in November/December 2008 and January/February 2009. Information regarding these sessions will be sent out in October 2008 and December 2008 respectively.

The session will be computer based ‘hands on’ training with a short break for afternoon tea.  It is not necessary to bring a laptop computer.  Registration will commence at 12.30pm.

1. The PD session will only be conducted if there are sufficient numbers. A morning session may also be run if there is sufficient demand.
2. Allocation to the session is on a first come first served basis. 
3. As places are very limited, a maximum of two participants may be allocated to each school.
