(3) How many courses have been added to the CIT curriculum since 2016, and for each course what is the (a) title of the course, (b) duration of the course, (c) accreditation for completion of the course, (d) teaching load to run the course, (e) total cost of delivering the course and (f) date when the course started.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) CIT’s response is provided in line with the following assumptions:
a) “Dropped” is understood to mean courses CIT decided to discontinue while the course was still current nationally, and an equivalent training was not available at any other course at CIT.
b) Courses replaced nationally within Training Packages with the replacement subsequently implemented at CIT are not included (regardless of changes in title or specialisation).
c) Courses that naturally reached the end of their accreditation periods are not included.
d) Courses still on CIT’s scope but delivery is paused while the course is reconfigured are not included.
e) Accredited courses are included; non-accredited short courses are excluded.
f) Qualifications are included; short courses which are subsets of qualifications are excluded.
Based on these criteria, CIT has ceased the following courses:
