Program Description

Scholars enter Bosch studying an apprenticeship and at the same time study technical topics leading toward a VCE and Diploma. After successfully completing the apprenticeship, the scholar is offered a permanent position, and the option of continuing with study leading towards a degree. A scholar will work on average 3.5 days, and learn theory 1.5 days, plus additional normal study requirements.

RMIT supports the model, ensuring integrity of all studies, with formal assessment.
