    Welcome

    Charles Darwin University (CDU) is the

    Northern Territorys leading education

    provider. We deliver training and education

    to more than 20,000 students. Peoplecome from throughout the Territory, all

    states of Australia as well as overseas to

    study at one of CDUs eight campuses

    or centres.

    Most CDU students study Vocational

    Education and Training (VET) courses

    that qualify them to work in a wide range

    of occupations and careers. At CDU, VET

    courses can also provide pathways tostudying at Higher Education level.

    Our VET courses will help you to develop

    a range of work skills that are often in

    high demand in the current marketplace.

    No matter who you are or where you are

    in your life, CDU can help to change your

    world.

    This guide provides information on courseofferings. Delivery of VET courses is

    exible and varies according to demand,

    location and circumstance. Students are

    encouraged to refer to the Universitys

    website at www.cdu.edu.au/courses for the

    most up-to-date list of courses on offer.

    Course options

    Certifcate I

    Certicate I qualications cover basic

    skills required in some industries. They

    are usually offered in remote locations orthrough schools and are rarely available

    to urban groups as a stand alone

    qualication

    Certifcate II

    Certicate II qualications are generally an

    introductory level.

    Certifcate III

    Certicate III qualications provide a skillqualication for a job and are the level of

    an apprenticeship.

    Certifcate IV

    Certicate IV qualications are often

    seen as the rst level qualication

    for a supervisory position. Successful

    achievement at this level entitles a student

    to up to 40 credit points advanced

    standing in an undergraduate course in asimilar eld.

    Diploma

    Diplomas are a high level qualication

    and successful achievement at this level

    entitles a student to up to 80 credit points

    advanced standing in an undergraduate

    course in a similar eld.

    Short Courses

    Short courses can be a group of unitswhich lead to a particular skill or a non-

    accredited course which focuses on a

    particular skill.

    Length of courses

    Because people study in so many different

    ways, we can only give a general guide

    here. Where people are studying full-time,

    they could take a shorter time to completetheir course.

    Certicates I, II, III and IV on average

    take from six months to one year

    Diplomas may take from 1 year to

    18 months

    Apprenticeships take three years

    on average

    Methods of study

    There are several study options to choose

    from with CDU. We encourage you to

    talk to CDU about what is the best

    method for you.

    Full-time

    Part-time

    Self-paced

    On-line using Learnline

    On the job

    Seminar

    Block or day release for apprentices

    A combination of the above

    Please contact CDU prior to enrolling to

    nd out what is available in your chosen

    eld and to discuss your options.

    Enrolling in a VET course

    Regardless of whether you are a new or a

    continuing student if you want to study

    in 2010, you need to enrol. Once you have

    selected the course(s) in which you wouldlike to enrol, you should arrange a time

    with the relevant team leader or delegate

    to discuss and complete your enrolment.

    You can nd the enrolment form on

    the web at www.cdu.edu.au/studentnet/

    adminforms.html#vet. Remember, you need

    a staff member to approve your enrolment.

    Most certicate courses do not have

    specic entry requirements, but to ensurethat you enrol in the most appropriate

    course, you should speak to a lecturer.

    If you speak English as a second language

    and require help preparing for VET

    study, visit the Adult Migrant English

    Program website for further information.

    W: www.cdu.edu.au/cduvet/language-

    literacy/amep.html

    What fees do I needto pay?

    Fees apply to most students undertaking

    VET courses at CDU. Information on

    nominal hours for each course can be

    found on the CDU website.

    Australian students living in the NorthernTerritory (NT) are eligible to enrol in NT

    Government-subsidised places. Those

    living outside the Northern Territory will

    normally pay a higher fee. Specic fees are

    posted on the CDU website.

    Some higher level courses eg Certicate

    IV or Diploma may not be subsidised and

    will cost more. Contact CDU for more

    information on course fees.
