Certificates in General Education for Adults (CGEA) open a range of educational opportunities for our students to increase their participation in the community and the workplace.
Certificates II and III fulfil the compulsory requirements for students wishing to apply for tertiary education courses, apprenticeships and employments. The Academy offers Certificates I, II, and III through Communicare Inc.'s Registered Training Organisation. Combined with an OLNA (Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment) pass, work experience, VETDSS (VET Delivered to Secondary Students), and the other educational programs we offer, our students are competitively placed for tertiary education and employment opportunities.
