VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND
TRAINING — VETIS CONSULTING SERVICES
288. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to the answer given to
question without notice 147, asked on 13 March 2019, relating to VETiS
Consulting Services.
(1) Can the
minister confirm whether TAFE has taken the responsibility of auspicing the assessment
of all qualifications previously undertaken by VETiS?
(2) If no to (1),
which qualifications are TAFE unable to offer auspicing services for?
(3) For each of the qualifications referred to in (2),
how many schools offer courses relevant to those qualifications?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. This response refers to public schools.
(1) TAFE has not
taken all this responsibility because, although some of the qualifications are
broad in nature, they include specialisations that TAFE is unable to support.
All schools delivering qualifications that TAFE cannot auspice have been
assisted to find alternative private registered training organisations to
partner with for the delivery of these qualifications.
(2)–(3) TAFE
is unable to provide auspice services for the following qualifications: for
CUA20113, certificate II in dance, it is seven schools; for CUA20715,
certificate II in visual arts (wood context), it is four schools; for CUA31115,
certificate III in visual arts (furniture context), it is one school; and for
CUA20215, certificate II in creative industries (live production context), it
is five schools.
