Nationally Recognised Training (NRT)
Maryborough State High School is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) delivering a number of nationally recognised vocational qualifications, under the direction of the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) and the Department of Education and Training (DET).
Each NRT qualification is designed for students to complete a number of units of competency from National Training Packages that have been developed by different industries to ensure knowledge and skills are developed according to their needs.
Assessment is competency based - which is the process of collecting evidence and making judgements on whether or not the student can consistently demonstrate knowledge and skill and the application of that knowledge and skill to a performance required in the workplace. During the program of study, a variety of assessment techniques will be used, including practical skills and knowledge.
There are no A-E results, the student will either be deemed competent or not yet competent at completion of course. As a result the student will not receive a Level of Achievement./p>
Maryborough State High School guarantees that the student will be provided with every opportunity to complete the certificate as per the rights and obligations outlined in the enrolment process and NRT Student Handbook provided.
Students successfully achieving all qualification requirements will be provided with a Qualification and record of results. These can contribute to the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) up-to 8 points depending on the qualification level, duplication requirements and completion.
Maryborough State High School has a complaints and appeals procedure. This policy and procedure can be found in both the NRT Student Handbook and the Policies and Procedures document (see link on this page). The template for appeals and complaints are available as an appendix in the Student Handbook. Any questions regarding this process can be forwarded to the RTO Manager.
All students enrolling in a NRT qualification will receive an electronic copy of the NRT Student Handbook and Student Policies and Procedures (available on this page - see links), which provides essential templates, and outlines important information regarding their participation in these subjects and their obligations and rights.
