Note: The following has been quoted from the Board of Studies website.
The Board of Studies has approved a Board Endorsed Course in Industry-based Learning to give HSC unit credit for the 'on-the-job' component of school-based apprenticeships and traineeships. This HSC unit credit would be in addition to the unit credit for the formal 'off-the-job' training that students already receive through their HSC VET courses.
The Industry-based Learning Stage 6 Course Description will be available to students with an approved school-based apprenticeship or traineeship training contract and who are also entered for the appropriate HSC VET course(s) for the formal off-the-job training component of the school-based apprenticeship or traineeship.
The new Industry-based Learning course may be credited for a minimum of 2 units and a maximum of 4 units out of the 22 units required for the HSC. The unit credit from this course may be counted in either the Preliminary and/or HSC pattern of study.
