Endorsed programs

Endorsed programs offer students the opportunity to use workplace learning (WL), VET stand alone, university studies, community organisation and personal development programs to meet the requirements to achieve a WA Certificate of Education (WACE). Students can be involved in any of these types of learning during or outside of schools time through a variety of strategies.

Endorsed programs are given 'unit equivalence'. This effectively means that one or a combination of programs is considered equal to one unit of a WACE (council-developed) course. Endorsed programs will be accredited from 2007 and a maximum of ten unit equivalent endorsed programs can be counted towards the new WACE from 2008.

Endorsed programs are categorised into one of five types of learning. Follow the links below to view endorsed programs for each type of learning:

• Workplace Learning (WL)
