Endorsed Programs
Professional development
Term 4 2009 professional development events are available for these programs here.
Endorsed programs offer Year 10, 11 and 12 students the opportunity to use workplace learning, VET stand alone and nationally accredited courses, university studies, community organisation and personal development programs to meet the completion requirement of the WA Certificate of Education (WACE). Students can be involved in any of these types of learning activities during or outside of school time through a variety of strategies.
Endorsed programs are given 'unit equivalence'. This effectively means that one or a combination of programs is considered equal to one unit of a WACE course. A maximum of ten unit equivalents can be counted towards the WACE. Achievement of endorsed programs must be reported to the Council in the year they are achieved or completed.
Endorsed programs are categorised into one of five types of learning. Follow the links below to view the programs endorsed in each category.
- Workplace learning
- VET stand alone and nationally accredited courses
- University studies
- Community organisation
- Personal development
Equivalence is awarded in ‘units’ for workplace learning, VET stand alone and university studies.
In the community organisation and personal development categories, unit equivalence is awarded in points. Five points is the equivalent of one unit.
