Certificate II in General Education for Adults

This free course is designed to teach you the skills you need to succeed in higher-level vocational or university education studies. This course also gives you the opportunity to gain 36 Level 2 TCE (Tasmanian Certificate of Education) credit points upon completion of the full Certificate. Successful completion of this course will also allow you to meet the minimum educational requirements for the Australian Defence Force, of Year 10 English and Mathematics.

In this nationally accredited course, you will create a comprehensive learning plan and portfolio, identifying the skills, strategies and connections you need to achieve your future career goals.

You'll improve your skills at analysing and writing a range of complex texts - including academic writing and writing for personal purposes such as short stories, a blog or an autobiography.

Throughout the course you will learn the skills needed to investigate numerical and statistical information, analyse data and learn to use mathematical formulae for problem-solving with confidence, as well as how to use IT presentation packages. You'll also complete a project of your choice.

This course has two delivery modes:

• Full-time Mixed Mode at Campbell Street. To be successful in this course you will need to commit to 20 hours of learning per week.
• Part-time, fully online (Next intake February 2024)

To make sure this is the right level course for you, you will need to complete an online literacy and numeracy assessment as part of your application. If you need to develop or build your skills before entering this course, we have preparatory courses in General Education and Career Preparation that will get you there.

Note- All nationally recognised VET units contribute credit points towards the achievement of the Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE). TCE credit points accrue throughout your lifetime so you can also achieve the TCE as an adult. Find out more about what you need to do to achieve all of the standards of the TCE at: www.tasc.tas.gov.au/students/qualifications/tasmanian-certificate-of-education-tce/
