School-enrolled students are entitled to access one Certificate II and one Certificate III course while at school.
Foundation skills

National & local skill sets
National skill sets are short courses made up of one or more units of competency from a training package. Local skill sets are designed as introductory training pathways that help students find out more about an industry before starting a course. There is no limit on how many national or local skill sets an eligible student can access.
