Delivery and Assessment Delivery and assessment VCE VET programs function within the AQTF, so that students may be eligible for nationally recognised qualifications or gain credit toward those qualifications. In order for students to gain credit in the VCE or VCAL for the CCNA program, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) must certify that students have achieved the designated units of competence from the UTE 99 Electrotechnology Industry Training Package. Or school applies to be its own Registered Training Organisation (RTO) http: //www. vcaa. vic. edu. au/vet/programs/cisco. html

Process of Delivery for VCE Deliver CCNA and assess as required by Cisco Academy Quality Assurance program Assess according to the two units of competence from UTE 30599 Certificate III in Electrotechnology Computer Systems (UTENES 106 AA and UTENES 206 AA). This requires a separate assessment usually as a skills based assessment cross checked against the elements of the Electrotechnology units. http: //www. vcaa. vic. edu. au/vet/programs/cisco. html
