Delivery options
School and Kangan Institute partnerships may work in the following ways:
- Shared delivery
- Delivery on behalf of the school by Kangan Institute
- Delivery by the school of the whole program, under the auspice of Kangan Institute
Schools can negotiate with Kangan Institute to deliver components of the program, where the school can demonstrate access to suitable staffing and resources. Kangan Institute may also auspice the school to gather evidence for assessment or to conduct assessment of the components delivered by the school.
A school in partnership with Kangan Institute is not required to register as a Training Organisation, because any delivery by the school will be auspiced by Kangan Institute.
A school may arrange for Kangan Institute to deliver and assess the entire program.
Schools are responsible for enrolling their students with the VCAA and for entering student results on the Victorian Assessment Software System (VASS) according to VCE timelines.
