OTEN – study @ your own pace @ your own place! Can’t make it to class at your local TAFE college? Live too far away? Work irregular hours? Have family commitments or is travel too difficult? Then studying with the Open Training and Education Network (OTEN) may be the answer for you. Whether you’re looking for your first job, a promotion, a career change or you just need extra knowledge and skills, OTEN can help.

OTEN is the specialist distance education and training provider of TAFE NSW, the largest vocational education and training organisation in Australia. TAFE NSW understands that everyone has different vocational and educational needs and is committed to helping you develop real skills for real careers.

OTEN offers over 250 qualifications and courses, and accepts applications to enrol from students all over NSW, from other states and territories of Australia and overseas. Last year over 35 000 students studied through OTEN. Our courses and programs are flexible and may be delivered in many ways – online, CD, printed learning materials, audio, video or some may have

a face-to-face component, workshops, practicals or in the workplace.

As a student with OTEN you have the opportunity to study where it best suits you, and when – at home, in the workplace, at the local library, at night, on weekends or in your holidays. OTEN enrolment applications are accepted continuously for most of the year or until course places are filled. You start studying as soon as you receive your learning materials or, for online study, as soon as you are given access to your online learning website. OTEN is open 50 weeks a year and also has a student website that supports all students at any time of the day or night.

Read this guide carefully. It provides the information you need to apply to enrol.

Now is the time to make a decision that may change the rest of your life!

RecognitionTAFE NSW provides a means of assessing and recognising your relevant previous learning and current work experience so you may avoid repeating what you already know. In this way, you may complete your studies faster or gain entry to a higher level qualification.

Have you completed a TAFE NSW course? Have you gained a qualification from other educational providers? Do you have current work experience? You may hold the relevant knowledge, skills and experience to apply for recognition.

You may receive recognition for one or more units, up to a full qualification in which you are enrolled. Your application for recognition is assessed after your OTEN enrolment application is approved. The minimum amount of recognition granted is for an entire unit.

Check your Course Information Leaflet carefully before submitting your enrolment application, to ensure that you are aware of all the fees and charges involved. Course related charges may not be required when submitting your enrolment application.

If you are behind in paying any outstanding TAFE NSW fee, charge or fine, your testamur or course results from TAFE NSW will not be issued. Please ensure you pay these before applying to enrol.

Refunds

TAFE NSW feeA refund of the TAFE NSW fee may be given in exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances do not include changes in your personal, employment or study situation that prevent you from continuing your studies, such as change of job, an unforseen increase in your workload, moving interstate or overseas, or moving house.

A refund of the TAFE NSW fee may be given if you:

• have paid the TAFE NSW fee then receive Youth Allowance or Austudy within two weeks of your enrolment date or the dispatch of your learning materials from OTEN. You will need to provide proof of when your payment to study commenced.

• enrol in a course only to repeat a failed unit but are then granted a pass in that unit by an Assessment Review Committee

• enrol in a course which is cancelled by OTEN

• paid the full annual TAFE NSW fee and withdraw or complete your course with OTEN or another TAFE NSW college before 24 June 2007. You may be eligible for a half year refund.

• apply within four weeks from your enrolment date and have not participated in your studies. Refer to page 7.

• believe you have a case for a refund because of ‘exceptional circumstances’. You must support your request in writing and apply to the OTEN Refund Committee.

Course related chargesA refund of course related charges may be given:

• if OTEN cancels a practical or workshop

• if you paid for a practical or workshop and notify OTEN within a minimum of 7 working days of your inability to attend. If OTEN outlays payment for services, such as accommodation or meal vouchers which are non-refundable, the student will incur the cost and only a refund of any remaining monies will be issued.

• under ‘exceptional circumstances’. You need to support your request, in writing, to the Head Teacher.

A refund will not be issued:

• if materials, equipment or resources received remain the property of the student

• after a practical or workshop, if you do not attend or give adequate prior notification.

You may be eligible for a refund of tuition fees in special circumstances. For information related to specific student categories, refer to page 10.

There are no refunds of the OTEN Student Materials and Handling Charge or TAFE PLUS program fees, once enrolled.

Introduction - 5

Applying and enrolling at OTENOTEN’s enrolment period commences 6 November 2006 until 3 August 2007, or until course places are filled.

Don’t wait too long to put in your enrolment application.

Courses only remain open for enrolment while places are available. Once course places have been filled, no more enrolment applications can be accepted.

High demand courses can fill quickly, and may close before the mid-year enrolment date 31 May 2007.

So that you don’t miss out, you should apply to enrol early.

A step-by-step guide to applying and enrolling

Step 1

Have you read this Guide and your Course Information Leaflet?

These documents provide you with general enrolment conditions and important information about studying with OTEN.

Step 2

Do you need to submit an OTEN Course Application, Selection Application resource checklist or other form, such as a practical application or documentation to support your claim for an exemption from the TAFE NSW fee?

Yes – ensure you meet the entry requirements and fully complete these additional forms or provide adequate documentation when submitting your enrolment application. If these forms or documents are not provided or completed your enrolment application will be delayed, or it may be returned to you. This will reduce the period of time you may have to study in 2007.

No – make sure you meet the entry requirements for the course in which you wish to apply to enrol. Entry requirements are outlined in your Course Information Leaflet. If paying by credit card you may be able to apply to enrol online .

Online at : www.tafensw.edu.au/oten and go to Courses.

Note: If applying for an exemption from the TAFE NSW fee, you must still include payment of the OTEN Student Materials and Handling Charge.

Step 3

If you think you may be eligible for recognition of your previous learning and your current work experience, you are encouraged to apply for recognition at the same time as submitting your enrolment application or shortly after enrolment. For more information see page 3, or visit www.tafensw.edu.au/oten and go to Recognition.

Step 4

To complete your enrolment application, you need to:

• complete and sign the OTEN Enrolment Application form, including the student details page which provides important information for TAFE NSW to plan to meet the needs of our students. Your course may also have other forms to be completed. The OTEN Enrolment Application form is available online at www.tafensw.edu.au/oten or through OTEN Course Information

• provide appropriate and adequate documents or evidence, as requested

• attach payment for the TAFE NSW fee, OTEN Student Materials and Handling Charge, TAFE PLUS fee or any other applicable course related charges, or include your credit card details.

Payment of fees and charges is only accepted in Australian dollars.

Due to increased global security measures, OTEN is now required to display a contact phone number on the outside of all items posted overseas. Students living overseas must provide a contact phone number with country and area codes displayed on all postal items.

OTEN Course Information 51 Wentworth Road Strathfield NSW 2135

Documentation Get it right first time!

To ensure that your enrolment application progresses smoothly, it’s important that you provide current and complete documentation with your enrolment application.

Incomplete information or documents may delay the start of your studies or course places may be filled before your application is accepted.

If you think you are eligible for an exemption from paying the TAFE NSW fee, the documents you need to supply are outlined in Section 8 of the OTEN 2007 Enrolment Application form.

TAFEcardYou will need a TAFEcard to visit and use the facilities of TAFE NSW colleges, borrow from their libraries and sit for an exam or a test. OTEN students are able to ask for a TAFEcard at any college of TAFE NSW. OTEN is not able to issue TAFEcards.

What happens when I enrol?Once OTEN receives your enrolment application and correct payment and your enrolment is approved, you will receive:

• a Receipt of Money/Tax Invoice

• a Confirmation of Enrolment letter. You will need this to get your TAFEcard and for Centrelink, if you receive payments to study.

• your learning materials or information on how to access your online study. As you progress through your studies, you may add more units until 21 September.

• access to the OTEN Learning Support (OLS) site.

• for most courses, an OTEN Student Guide and Diary which outlines important information to help you get started, online services and enrolment conditions, including a copy of Every Student’s Guide to Assessment in TAFE NSW.

• a phone call or email to see if you need help getting started.

Active participation

Active participation in your course is a condition of your enrolment with OTEN. Active participation is submitting assignments, attending practical sessions, if applicable, sitting exams or tests, submitting an application for recognition, accessing unit support pages on the OLS, completing units or making satisfactory progress in tutorial support. If you do not participate in your studies future enrolment applications may be declined.

Introduction - 7

How long will it take to complete a course?You are encouraged to start studying as soon as you receive your learning materials or online access. Although studying with OTEN is self-paced, course time limits do apply, to ensure you are given the maximum advantage to complete your course.

There may also be set dates for practicals, workshops and exams, if applicable.

Recognition of previous learning and current experience will mean that you may not have to study some units in your course and you may finish more quickly. Ask about recognition when you apply to enrol.

If you receive financial assistance from Centrelink to study, you must comply with the study time limits set by Centrelink. These may be less than the OTEN course time limit.

Will my study involve assessment?Most courses involve assessment, which may be written assignments, tests, exams or practicals. When you begin your studies with OTEN, you will be given detailed information about how you will be assessed and how your results will be recorded and reported.

At OTEN, not all of these will have fixed dates. To study by distance you need to plan a schedule of submitting your work and meeting your study goals, and completing your course within the time limit.

Some courses have compulsory practicals, workshops, tutorials or field trips. These sessions are usually organised in ‘blocks’ to reduce costs to you. They may be held at other TAFE NSW colleges or specialist centres.

If your course has exams or tests, you may apply to sit for these at your local TAFE NSW college. If you live interstate or overseas, you may sit exams or tests by private supervision. Private supervisors are reviewed for their suitability to conduct exam or test supervision by OTEN. Any charge for private supervision is your responsibility.

Tests may be sat at a time convenient to you and the local TAFE NSW college. Exams are state wide, and are held at set times and dates twice a year – in June and November/December.

Transferring your studies and co-enrolment If OTEN offers the course/units you wish to study, you can apply to transfer to OTEN or co-enrol with OTEN in the same enrolment period, if places are available. You do not have to pay the TAFE NSW fee (or approved fee exemption) but you are required to pay the OTEN Student Materials and Handling Charge.

You cannot be enrolled in the same unit at two TAFE NSW colleges within the same enrolment period.

Important note: If you enrolled in Semester 1 only at your TAFE NSW college, then co-enrol or transfer your course to OTEN, you must complete the units/course you are co-enrolled/enrolled in with OTEN by 24 June 2007. If you paid by instalment, you need to pay your second instalment by 31 May 2007 to continue studying your units/course with OTEN.

Can’t attend classes due to timetable clashes, work or family commitments? Or your TAFE NSW college is not offering the unit you want to study? Co-enrolment in one or more units with OTEN may be helpful.

Sarah

Sarah is studying a building and construction course and would like to apply for a position in building and design. Although she attends classes at her local TAFE NSW college and likes the contact with other students and teachers, she has a young family and wants to study some units at home. Also, some of her classes were held in the evening and she didn’t like catching the late train home.

Sarah co-enrolled in three units with OTEN, which allows her to study at home, at her own pace. Sarah did not have to pay the TAFE NSW fee again, as she is currently enrolled in the course with her local TAFE NSW college, but she did need to pay the OTEN Student Materials and Handling Charge.
