VETASSESS - is 6th form college or secondary school?
Mrs DUP is filling in her VETASSESS form, and the question arose about 6th form certificates. Are these considered 'Secondary School' or are these considered 'Postsecondary or Higher Education Qualifications'?
In other words, do we need to provide certified copies of her 6th Form results?
Thanks.

I may be wrong though - it has been known to happen, on the odd occasion

I have no idea what VETASSESS is, but I thought 6th form was the same as year 12 ie last year at high school?

6th Form subjects / level are often taken in college, hence the confusion.
I'm sure someone will have a definitive answer. (I'm showing off now - using posh words!)
Oh yeah, VETASSESS is the examining board for Administrative qualification. Mrs DUP has a BA(Hons) in Finance for Managers - covers statistics, data manipulation, and all that.

6th Form equates to Year 12 - so I reckon they'd definitely be regarded as 'secondary school' qualifications - regardless of where they were actually taken.

As you've said 'I reckon', does that mean that it's an educated guess, or have you been down this road? Sorry to be picky but we don't want to have this sent back as incomplete.....

Don't worry, Mrs D - I turned FIFTY last month!
You know that expression 'Life begins at Forty'?
It's cobblers!
Life begins when you decide to begin it.

It's only an educated guess. I've always put down my 6th form qualifications as if they were Year 12 qualifications on countless other forms over the years - but then I did do them at school, so there was no question about it!

I'm sure someone else has had to do a VETASSESS.
Thanks, Nicky.

Dagboy turned 40 about 2 weeks ago, but he keeps telling everyone how young he feels since hes married to a woman in her 30s LOL . Of course when people find out that hes 40 they almost keel over with shock because he looks so young! , not sure if they think Im that young as well or if they think I have a toyboy

downunderpom,
i have a vetassess assessment and can confirm that 'A' - levels are equivalent to year 12 in Australia. They are secondary qualifications. I know you can do them at college, but that's an FE college and FE (further education) is the same as secondary education in Oz. HNDs, HNCs, degrees, post-grads and all HE courses (Higher ed.) all count as tertiary education or uni courses.
