A system of entry requirements and selection criteria for full-time places in TAFEWA courses has been developed.
These arrangements are designed to:
What are the entry requirements and selection criteria?
Entry requirements are designed to ensure all those who gain entry to a course have the competencies or skills and abilities required to effectively participate in the program.
Entry requirements may be expressed as:
OR
• | basic skills |
•• | developed skills |
• •• |
well developed skills |
•• •• |
highly developed skills |
eg. to enter into a Certificate II in Hospitality (Operations) you could require developed communication skills and basic maths skills.

|
Communication skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening skills in English) | Yes | |||
Maths skills | Yes |
Important
The entry requirements for most full-time TAFEWA courses will be at benchmarks
basic skills | • | or developed skills | •• |
Many courses will have no maths skills requirement.
For detailed information about the skills and attributes that should be demonstrated at each of the benchmarks above click here.
Follow these simple steps:
1. Choose a course from the 2012 TAFEWA Full-time Studies Guide or on-line at http://coursesearch.tafe.wa.edu.au
2. Read the information under the course’s “entry requirements”: – some courses require a lower-level qualification. – for other courses, you will need to meet the communication and maths skills benchmarks indicated
3. If you need to meet communication and maths skills benchmarks, go to the relevant table in the “Evidence Guide”. (This will be in the 2008 TAFEWA Full-time Studies Guide and on the website.)
Table 1 shows the outcomes required for each benchmark. It will look like this:
The Communication and Mathematics skills attributed to each of the benchmarks (dots) can be demonstrated through performance at the school level. Performance in a range of school programs at a range of levels are acknowledged as demonstrating the various levels of competence required to study in TAFE programs. Details of how these skills and attributes can be demonstrated are given below:
Communication Skills – Click Here
Mathematic Skills – Click Here
It is important to note that TAFEWA recommend that students complete Courses at the highest Stage at which they are capable. Performance at higher Stages does attract extra credit.
To meet the benchmark for your course, you may be able to provide other types of evidence.
Selection criteria include previous academic achievements and other evidence of ability, such as work experience; industry involvement; and employment status that are used to rank eligible applicants competing for entry into a course. Selection criteria are normally applied only if there are more applicants than places available in a course. Details of the model are listed below.
The essential difference between entry requirements and selection criteria is that entry requirements are used to determine an applicant’s eligibility for entry into a course. Selection criteria are used to determine which eligible applicants will be offered a place in a course.
There are some areas where these new arrangements do not apply. These are:
