Ejemplo de programa académico para el año 2005 en la Charles Sturt University para el grado de “Bachelor of Vocational Education and Training” y el intermedio de “Associate Degree in Vocational Education and Training”

The Bachelor of Vocational Education and Training course has been designed to prepare effective teachers and trainers who can operate successfully in a variety of vocational education and training settings. It develops the competencies required to enable a graduate to qualify as a workplace trainer and for permanent employment as a teacher in TAFE.

The course aims to foster in all students the development of:

• an understanding of the broad socio-economic and political context in which vocational education and training is located;

• an understanding of competence and competency-based education and training;

• knowledge about adolescents and adults, and learning;

• skills in teaching and training in vocational settings;

• competency in the use of technology for the delivery of instructions and support of learning;

• the capacity to design and manage vocational education and training programs which are appropriate, effective and able to be accredited;

• skill in the assessment of learning and the evaluation of programs;

• an awareness of the value of open and lifelong education and training;

• a predisposition to accept professional responsibility for their own continuing education; and

• the ability to analyse and think critically and constructively about current developments in vocational education and training.

The Associate Degree in Vocational Education and Training course is designed as an entry level course for people who wish to work in vocational education and training as a teacher or trainer. It articulates with Stream 3 of the Bachelor degree, and students completing the Associate Degree may be admitted to the Bachelor of Vocational Education and Training with full credit for all subjects successfully completed.

Together with a Workplace Assessor qualification, this course entitles students to a Certificate IV in Workplace Training, on application to the VET Course Coordinator.

Admission criteria/Study requirements

Bachelor degree

Students are eligible to enter the course in one of four streams according to their previous study and experience.

Stream 1: Students with a Diploma of Teaching (Technical/Adult/Vocational), or equivalent, are required to complete four subjects. There will be no intakes into this stream in 2005. Stream 2: Students with a three-year teaching Diploma, in a field outside the VET sector, or equivalent, are required to complete eight subjects. There will be no intakes into this stream in 2005. Stream 3: Students with a recognised technical/vocational qualification such as a trade certificate, advanced certificate, associate diploma or diploma, or equivalent, and who have a minimum of three years relevant experience are required to complete eight to 16 subjects. Those with qualifications and experience beyond the minimum level (a trade certificate and three years experience) will be eligible for credit in some subjects. Note: A Certificate IV in Workplace Training does not count as a vocational qualification for entry purposes. Stream 4: Students with a vocationally-oriented degree (e.g. accounting, agriculture, business, engineering, health science, hospitality and tourism, information technology, management or secretarial studies) from a recognised university or polytechnic and relevant industrial experience are required to complete eight subjects. There will be no intakes into this stream in 2005.

Associate degree

Students must have a recognised vocational qualification at trade certificate (Certificate III) level or above, or equivalent, and a minimum of three years relevant experience. Upon admission, all students are granted a credit package of 64 points for prior qualifications.

Graduation requirements

To graduate, students must satisfactorily complete 192 points for the Bachelor degree or 128 points for the Associate Degree. The number of subjects students must complete during enrolment to make up the required points is dependent upon their prior qualification, for which a credit package is awarded upon admission to the course (see Admission criteria/study requirements above).

Articulation

The Associate Degree in Vocational Education and Training articulates with Stream 3 of the Bachelor of Vocational Education and Training, and credit is awarded in the Bachelor degree for subjects completed in the Associate Degree.
