If your dream of going to uni has been blocked by a lower than expected ATAR, don’t panic. We can show you a proven way to get into university and put a smile on your face.
A low ATAR does not mean you’ll never be able to go to university – it just means you need to rethink how to go about it. Even if you never finished Year 12 at school, we can help 🙂
Firstly, the ATAR has for the most part been an admissions criteria benchmark for university.
A low ATAR score can be difficult to come to terms with at first, especially when you felt like you put in the work to get a good score. It can be very sobering to realise all those years at school has come to this – now what do you do? You could one of those people who are waving friends farewell as they trot off to university and asking yourself, “why didn’t I get that chance?”, “I’m going to miss out on so much by not being allowed to go to uni”.
If you are one of the many people who never achieved a good ATAR, or missed out on going to university and you feel like you’re opportunity has passed you by, don’t despair – there is a plan B.
Let’s begin by understanding how training and education pathways are designed.
The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) developed a step-by-step way to progress from Certificate II all the way to degree and beyond. In simple terms, whilst developing your career through continuous training and education programs, you’re given the opportunity to step up to the next level and be awarded credits for what you have previously learned.
What this means to you is an APC Diploma of Emergency Health Care can be used to get into university to study a paramedical science degree; and we can show you just how that is done. Following this pathway means you’ll be well prepared for university by the time you finish the Diploma and have a significant advantage over new students who are only just beginning the degree.
You can definitely benefit from completing the APC Diploma then going on to university – here’s why;
