Note on English Language assessment
Candidates who do not meet the diploma English Language requirement but are competent in the English language may opt to obtain a Workplace Literacy (WPL) statement of attainment (SOA) in Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing under the WDA's Employability Skills System using the Assessment-only Pathway (AOP) at minimal cost from one of several local Continuing Education & Training Centres.
WSS WPL Level 5 is required for Diploma and Specialist Diploma courses, Level 6 is required for Advanced Diploma courses. A minimum WSS WPL Level 5 is recommended for short certificate courses.
