G'day people! just wanted to know if any1 did Automotive - framwork at school?!? and if it was worth it! Thinking of doing it for next year. Board of Studies NSW
list of some of the things I'll do on the left of table.

cheers Butch.

Looks pretty good - I never had the chance to do a subject like that at high school - you'll get plenty out of it by the looks of it.

it's $2500 a year extra! not much at all and it goes towards the UAI!

Ironically i am just dealing with this at the moment. We are offering it for the first time next year, as a Cert 1 course in Automotive, our students will now extend their year 9 and 10 Automotive studies and actually have the option to commence the course in Year 10 rather than Year 11. And if all goes to plan we will be offering Cert III Automotive next year also.

Yea this is for next year (Year 11) and maybe for year 12.

I did cert 2 automotive at school, in victoria, wasent a big fan of school and it made it more bareable, got some usefull knowledge ot of it. all depends on what you want to do, Half of school is useless unless you want to go to uni and into the white coller world of business. Maths, english, IT, and auto are the only classes I did in year 12, witch was the least I could do and still pass. and now I'm a few months from being a qualifide enginear, and theres more then enough money to be made for anyone with half a brain..

2500 private school?? man the most i had was about 200 bucks in year ten.
sounds like there asking a offal lot, im a apprentice mech now and over four years the tech tranning is 1050, and thats with far more depth and practical they would of ever been able to teach me at school. so yea just somthing to think about but if thats wat u like then go for it, u wont get far doing somthing u dont like

If only engineers got payed as well as we hoped when we were still at uni!

Doctors, lawyers, marketing, sales reps, IT developers.....all get way more $$$ than the humble engineer.

Although I think starting salary at lot of eng companies is now around $55K or so....
