Students with Disabilities
Are students with a disability able to apply for TVET courses?
Students with a disability are encouraged to participate in TVET. There are two options available for students with a disability, (i) placement in a discrete class or (ii) integration into a mainstream TVET group. To be considered as a student with a disability, the school must complete a Priority Ranking Form on behalf of the student. (Guidelines for Course Selection and Placement - Student with a Disability)
To enable the Region to manage funding submissions submitted on behalf of students with a disability, the students are asked to attach the Priority Ranking Form to their application form before submitting it to the Institute.
Expression of Interest to Undertake a TVET Course Form
The Expression of Interest to Undertake a TVET Course form is provided for government, catholic and independent school students. If you are applying to continue in 2009 in the same course you were studying in 2008, eg the 2nd year of the Accounting; Hospitality; Information Technology; Metal & Engineering; and Tourism etc courses, this needs to be indicated on the Expression of Interest form.
