Frequently Asked Questions
Will I receive a certificate when I complete a skill set?
Because the skill sets are not a full qualification, you will not receive a certificate.
You will receive a Statement of Attainment that lists all of the units of competency you completed in the skill set. This statement is recognised nationally as an official record. It verifies that you have completed those units, so you can receive credit for them should you continue on to further study.
Can I go on to further study after I've completed a skill set?
Yes! Completing a skill set is a great way to find out whether this is the industry area for you, and decide if you want to do further study and gain a full qualification.
The Job Ready skill sets contain units of competency taken from nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualifications. This means they work perfectly as a pathway to further study.
What is the cost?
Fee free training is available for courses in priority industry areas like healthcare, IT, building and construction, and hospitality, to help build WA’s skilled workforce.
