Standard 10.9 – Course exit points

VET accredited courses must identify exit points from the course which provide for vocational or education outcomes where applicable.

This Standard relates to Section B: 5.1 of the National course document template.

Where a course allows for an early exit point for vocational or education outcomes, this will need to be identified in the course structure. Students exiting at this point will receive a statement of attainment for the unit (or units) of competency they have successfully completed.

Case study – Early exit point

The course structure includes RIIERR201E - conduct fire team operations, that provides an early exit point for students who only require training and assessment to meet the prescribed qualification requirements for an Underground Fire Officer in Queensland underground coal mines.

Note: This case is modelled on the current accredited course 10969NAT Certificate III in Underground Mine Inertisation Team Operations. Permission for ASQA to use this information from the accredited course was provided by the course owner, The Queensland Mines Rescue Service Limited.
