Certificate II & III Principal Dates for 2009

The Certificates II and III courses are presented by qualified lecturers from QSFT, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). Our lecturers not only have the necessary teaching qualifications but they also have years of first-hand industry experience. This experience is invaluable to students, as many situations from the 'real world' are not covered in textbooks.

Course Pathways

The Certificate II in Creative Industries (Media) course has been structured to include units that are cross-credited with, or are included in, higher levels of study such as the Certificate III in Media or Diploma of Screen and Media. This means students who are interested in pursuing their studies further in this area, will achieve higher qualifications in less time.
