Flexible study options are available for some subjects under certain circumstances. Students wishing to take these options need to meet with a student advisor and demonstrate their ability to study independently. They must have the ICT skills and resources for online learning.
The ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) recognises completion of Year 11 and 12 courses/units from other jurisdictions as well as the ACT. Students wishing to have previous study recognised will need to provide evidence.
The 2023 Semester 1 enrolment fees for this course depend on whether a student is studying full time or part time. A student is understood to be studying full time if they enrol in 4 or more units and the fee for the semester is $780. A student studying 3 or fewer units is part time and the fee is $320. Course costs identified as Standard are partially subsidised by the ACT Government. Concessions may be available to eligible students.
Skills Recognition
Entry Requirements
Under ACT BSSS policy there are four categories of student who may enter the ACT Senior Secondary Certificate (Year 12) course. The category is determined by age and/or by previous study history. If you are from a culturally or linguistically diverse background and are using English as a second language, you should have language skills equivalent to those at the end of the CIT course Certificate IV in Spoken and Written English.
Entry requirements for the intensive package are that you must demonstrate that you have the necessary academic reading and writing skills, and that you understand the maths concepts required, to successfully complete an intensive ACT Year 12 tertiary package.
You will undertake a skills evaluation at enrolment to determine your readiness to enter the one-year tertiary package. Alternate and preparatory courses are available for skill development if needed.
NB: As the intensive course covers work normally completed in two school years, you also need to commit significant time for both class attendance and private study.
The course that is best for you will be discussed at enrolment.
To study any course at CIT (excluding degrees and non-accredited training) you must have a Unique Student Identifier (USI).
Transition Information
Qualifications at CIT are regularly updated or replaced to meet current industry needs and maximise your employment opportunities. If this occurs while you are part way through a qualification, you may need to vary your learning to meet the new national requirements. CIT will aim to make this as smooth as possible for you.
Subject Cancellations/Changes
To ensure positive outcomes for all students, CIT may need to cancel or change classes at short notice. CIT will make every effort to inform students as soon as changes are made and will also make every effort to offer alternative arrangements for students to meet the requirements of the subject and complete their qualification.
