- Enable existing skills and prior experience to be recognised and course credit granted, potentially reducing formal training time
- Are available as full-time or part-time, including part-time in many schools
- Lead to nationally recognised qualifications and skills which provide the basis for further education and training over the course of a person’s working life; and
- Are an important pathway from school to work.
