FAQs
The VET system in Australia uses units of competency as its basic building blocks. Each unit of competency has defined learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and their application parameters), which are measurable in their own right, but which also contribute to larger education outcomes. When units of competency are combined into an interrelated set below the level of a full qualification, they are now commonly referred to as ‘skill sets’.
The Acting Performance skill set contains six units of competency of which five each are relative to be considered RPL (recognised prior learning) if a student wishes to study at a higher level of Vocational Education and that course contains the same or comparable units of competency.
Units that will be trained are
CUAACT411 – Use acting techniques in performance
