The following qualifications from the ICA05 Information and Communications Training Package are available as School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships:

• ICA20105 Certificate II in Information Technology (Option 1)
• ICA30105 Certificate III in Information Technology (Option 2)

 

Credit in the VCE

Credit will be dependent upon the amount of training undertaken based on nominal hours.

• Option 1: Students who complete ICA20105 Certificate II in Information Technology will receive up to three units credit toward their VCE at Units 1 and 2 level.
• Option 2: Students who complete ICA30105 Certificate III in Information Technology (including the core units from ICA20105) will receive up to six units credit towards their VCE: two at Units 1 and 2 level and two Units 3 and 4 sequences. The eight core Certificate II units will provide credit at Units 1 and 2 level. The Certificate III units will provide two Units 3 and 4 sequences when a minimum of 360 hours of training has been completed.

Apprentices who do not achieve the minimum requirements for the qualification, as listed in the Training Package, will receive from the RTO a Statement of Attainment listing those competencies achieved. A record of their achievement will also appear in their Training Record Book.

Students undertaking Option 2 may choose to undertake scored assessment for the purposes of gaining a study score. In this case, the first Units 3 and 4 sequence will be the scored sequence, and the requirements are prescribed as described in Program 2 of the VCE VET Information Technology program booklet (published September 2006). Students must be enrolled in the designated units of competence in a single enrolment year and comply with the rules applying to scored assessment.

An ENTER increment is available for the second Units 3 and 4 sequence.
