If you have completed hours of Workplace Learning (ADWPL), you will need to convert these to unit equivalents as follows:

• 55 – 109 hours = 1 unit equivalent
• 110 – 164 hours = 2 unit equivalents
• 165 – 219 hours = 3 unit equivalents
• 220+ hours = 4 unit equivalents.

In addition, for each 55 hours completed in the workplace, a logbook and skills journal must have been completed for unit equivalents to be awarded.

Check the Authority website http://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/vet/endorsed-programs if you are unsure about the unit equivalents for your endorsed program/s.

Where you have completed a qualification as part of a VET industry specific course, please do not enter it in this section. This should only be entered in the VET Industry Specific section of the WACE checker.

If you have partially completed a Certificate III or higher (achieved at least 220 nominal hours of new VET enrolments in Year 12) you will need to enter this as a Certificate II qualification.

Please note that if your qualification is a Vocational Accredited Course, then you will need to manually calculate to see if you meet the requirements for a WACE, as the WACE checker does not cater for these courses. Details of how Vocational Accredited Courses contribute towards meeting the WACE requirements can be found on the Authority website at http://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/vet/wace-recognition-of-vet-accredited-courses.
