Specialisations are used to categorise a specialisation stream of an existing Qualification.
This is specifically used alongside a qualification to report that a student has achieved a specialised stream of that qualification.
An example:
- A student is enrolled in and completes a Diploma of Information Technology (ICT50220)
- They are specifically interested in the gaming specialisation of this item, and complete additional subjects to recognise this.
- This then allows them to work towards a recognition of achievement of ICT50220: Diploma of Information Technology Program (Game Programming)
Specialisations can be uniquely linked within the following wizards:
To manage Specialisations, open the Configuration Manager by choosing Manage > Configuration from the menu. The Configuration Manager displays an alphabetically ordered explorer tree.
