Duration

Ideally, you will enrol at the start of Yr 11 and complete by November 1 of Year 12. Enrolments can be accepted from students at any stage through Yr10 – Yr 12 by negotiation. For example if you want to commence early (Yr 10) or change pathways or subjects during Yr 11 or 12, please contact to discuss your options.

As this is a self-paced course, the option to fast-track may be available. Extensions are available, but should first be discussed with Adapt Education and your school’s vocational coordinator to determine if it will impact your QCE or ATAR.

As a guide, someone dedicating one line on their school timetable (over Yr 11 & 12) can expect to comfortably complete by the end of Yr 12.
