There has been a strong push towards mutual recognition of qualifications, with VET or Higher Education courses recognised towards other courses (and for those under 21 towards an SSCE).
Students may enrol from anywhere in Australia, while operationally the program is run by the Western Sydney Institute of TAFE.
