Overview

In this course you will gain the skills and knowledge required to successfully transition into tertiary education and training pathways.

Have you completed Year 12 but did not receive an ATAR, or the score you required to get into your chosen course?

Perhaps you studied VCE VM, or left school a while ago, and want to build your confidence and academic skills to begin a new study journey or make a career change.

You may have started study in year 11 or year 12 and enjoy learning, but find the school environment isn't for you.

Tertiary Preparation can help you to develop the knowledge and skills required for a successful transition into further study, whether that be in Higher Education or Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses.

You'll develop skills in academic writing, problem-solving, planning and organisation, technology and research, collaborative learning and teamwork, and independent learning.

On completion of this course, you will have gained knowledge and skills in:

applying analytical and critical thinking
the features and structures of academic writing
using search engines and databases for specific disciplines
planning, preparing and making formal presentations
participating in group academic projects and engaging in online learning.
