Do you need your RoSa to be able to get your HSC? (1 Viewer)

[10eggs8cracked]

I'm looking into doing a TAFE course (NSW) in early childhood education and one of the requirements is to your HSC.
I never got my HSC as I left early after completing Year 11.

I also, regrettably, never got my RoSa (as far as I'm aware) due to many things such as COVID and mental health decline.

Do I need my RoSa to get my HSC? if so, how would I actually get my RoSa? Can I retry for one? If not, what else can I use instead of my RoSa?

I have my mid and end of year reports for Year 10 and 11, can these be used in any way?

I do have other TAFE courses in mind that don't require my HSC, so I am not in urgent need of this. But it would definitely give me more options.

If important, I am 19yrs old.

Thank you!!

If you completed year 10, which you obviously have since you completed year 11, then you are eligible for a RoSA/already have one. If you wish to study a TAFE course that requires you to have completed your HSC, then you need to complete your HSC to meet the academic requirement to study that TAFE course. You can complete your HSC through the TAFE Statement in HSC Studies, after which you will become eligible to study a TAFE course that requires you to have completed the HSC.

Alternatively, assuming the course that you are referring to is the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Care (Birth-5), you can complete a Certificate IV in Tertiary Preparation, the purpose of which is to prepare you for university-level studies. In addition to being treated as nationally recognised training, this course has two main advantages over the TAFE Statement in HSC Studies:

1. It is a higher qualification than the HSC.
2. It is more suited for your study intentions. The TAFE Statement in HSC Studies is essentially year 12, that is, you study year 12 subjects and eventually complete your HSC. On the other hand, the Certificate IV in Tertiary Preparation focuses on preparing you for university-level studies, which appears to be much more relevant to you at this stage.

I hope this helps!
