What are the benefits?

When you are seeking employment, you are asked by potential employers to produce evidence of your knowledge and skills. You can tell them what you can do, but to have a certificate issued by an independent body such as a TAFE Institute stating the knowledge and skills you have, can carry a lot of value in gaining a position of employment.

There are also the added benefits of:

• Completing your studies in a shorter time
• Reduced study costs (as well as other associated costs, such as books, child care, etc).
• A lighter study load, leaving you time to do other things (e.g. part-time work).
• Reduction of duplication in learning already gained.
• Existing skills and knowledge being counted towards your qualification.
• Enhancement of career path options.
• Unlocking access to study opportunities
• Recognising specific skills.
