What we're talking about: In this episode I discuss what sort of information you can find in VTAC CourseSearch and explain what it all means, particularly when it comes to course types and codes, selection ranks, subject adjustments and prerequisites. 2:00 Why you should start looking at VTAC CourseSearch asap Just like you get more out of working with a tutor if you've already had a go at your homework, you'll get more out of your meeting with your career counsellor at school if you have already had a look and have questions ready to ask. 3:11 What information is available on VTAC CourseSearch? I explain briefly how to search for courses or majors on CourseSearch and what types of filters you can use to get a list of courses you're interested in. You'll also see some basic information about the course including the name of the course, how long it goes for, and an outline of the course highlighting important features. 5:28 All about course codes and types There are different course types based on the types of fees that you'll pay - CSP (Commonwealth Supported Place), DFP (Domestic Full Fee Place) and IFP (International Full Fee Place). Hear about the differences and how they work. 9:10 Selection criteria This is the section you need to look at to see what you need to complete to get into the course. This can be a particular selection rank, prerequisites, a portfolio or another selection task. I explain the difference between an ATAR and a selection rank and the types of things that can boost your selection rank, including subject adjustments. I also emphasise the importance of prerequisites when it comes to being offered a place in a course.
