How do the five electives affect what I learn?

Electives shape the extra skills in your course, within the national packaging rules.

How much choice is available?

At least three of the five electives must be from the qualification's listed options. Up to two may be imported from eligible Certificate III or higher training products. Relevance and other packaging rules still apply.

Can you request any listed option?

A national list does not mean every provider offers every unit. Compare the five codes in the written course offer, then ask whether changes are possible. Check how each choice adds to your intended learning rather than duplicating it.
