Not if they're incorrectly scribed: Cert IV
A trade Cert is rated as a Cert III, to compare, and I know some pretty switched on tradies (electricians, obviously).
You see what I did there.
Anyways, I don’t buy into the academic snobbery thing. One of my lowest paid colleagues also has a Masters, and she’s working on her PhD. Very insightful lady.
Google AQF. For the kids, I’ve seen Y12 placed at Cert II. So kids who do a TVET course achieve a higher level qual (Cert III normally) than their HSC/VCE/SACE etc.
Gotta love it when hoops forum gets so random. Thanks for the distraction Isaac.
