Title: Cisco CCNA Units 1+2 (VET course)
Post by: Daniel15 on November 05, 2007, 12:18:05 pm
Anyone have any idea how the Cisco CCNA Units 1+2 counts towards the ENTER score? I did it in 2005, and got told that it would count towards my ENTER score (somehow). I heard that some 10% increment is involved, but still have no clue how it works. Does it count as one of my 10% increments (5th and 6th subjects), or is it counted entirely separately?

I've got a feeling I did too many subjects (5 this year, 1 last year, and the Cisco course in 2005) :P

Students who receive a Unit 3?4 sequence (for either UTENES106AA or UTENES206AA) will be eligible for a 10% increment towards their ENTER (10% of the average of the primary four scaled studies).

Students who receive two Unit 3?4 sequences (for both UTENES106AA and UTENES206AA) will be eligible for two 10% increments towards their VCE (10% of the average of the primary four scaled studies).

I wish my school offered the CCNA - I ended up doing VCE VET Info Tech: Network Administration - which gave me a Cert III (basically a cereal box qualification - only useful for TAFE pathways, not employment). I'm doing my CCNA and MCSE outside of school (self-taught).

Thanks for that :)
But is that 10% increment in addition to my other subjects?
I mean, for the ENTER score, do I get my top 4 and 10% of the 5th and 6th (like usual), and the Cisco increments in addition? Or do the Cisco courses count as the 5th and 6th subjects?

The year that I did it was the last year it was offered at my school - We barely had enough people to run the class. I was going to do Units 3 and 4, but not enough people picked it.

no, i think Cisco CCNA is special

some VET courses don't count towards ENTER, but do count as a 3/4 sequence [towards the total of 16 units to complete VCE]

Sorry to bring a very old thread back to life, but just wondering what the outcome was with completing the CCNA (1+2), did you only get a maximum of two 10% increments (one of the average of your primary 4, and the other the 10% of your 5th ranking subject), or did you recieve credit for all the subjects you completed?

I'm thinking methods will be my bad subject, so I guess it won't be too bad if it doesn't get counted, but just wondering if i would still get credit for it?

Thanks,

Hopefully I'll get a reply!!

Sorry for taking ages to reply :P
And yeah, I just got two 10% increments. If you look in my signature, I did Chemistry, but it didn't count towards my ENTER.
