Bradfield is a school run by TAFE NSW, so it only runs separate prelim/hsc years aka year 11 & 12. The majority of other TAFEs run the combined(aka matriculated) programs to give access for CGVE and mature age students.phatic said:What is this! I rang Bradfield today, and apparently they don't run the reduced one year program. Have I been taken for a fool? Perhaps the weird lady I spoke to didn't like me.
that's not reduced since you are only doing the year 12 part, so important note for anyone thinking about bradfield- it is a school run by TAFE, not a normal TAFE, so delivery is over the same time period as school.Sasky said:When I went in for the interview I was told the one year reduced program was available if you repeated the exact same subjects.
you can do 3 (2units) subjects + a 1 unit subject. And then you can do the rest through OTEN, but it didnt seem promising. Especially when the maths guy made a big deal about how they were in par with 'state average' last year. Also my Ancient History and Extension 1 English and Maths clash too so thats a huge problem. Looks like its either Uni or most of the subjects through OTEN for me.Sasky said:Anybody go to Ultimo today? I guess if ur enroling u might be still there. I went to see if I could do all the subjects I wanted to, but they all clash, and they seriously dont recommend doing more then 3 subjects.
If any one wants the subjects and to see whether or not they clash, give me a buzz.
Anyway... I'll either be going to Bradfield or uni. Anyone else going to Bradfield?
in all honesty the people at Ultimo didnt look too promising eitherCLEVER NAME said:i enrolled there today for the 2yr accumulated program.
i went to bradfield briefly 2 years ago. it depends on your personality, but i found many of the people there to be emotionally immature and slack with their work. it just seemed like a "last resort" TAFE for people who couldent fit in anywhere else.
trying to work on a project with someone who high on amphetamines or weed is pretty annoying.
maybe they just had a bad intake that year though, i hope it isnt like that for you if you do go there. still, if you just want to concerntrate on work then theres nothing stopping you, the teachers there were very good, exept for the biology one.
ps. did you want to do english and society and culture?. i ended up doing adv. english and both history courses. soc/culture next year, along with pdhpe which i can do at randwick.
DON'T DO IT THROUGH OTEN! It makes it 20 times more difficult.seedorf said:you can do 3 (2units) subjects + a 1 unit subject. And then you can do the rest through OTEN, but it didnt seem promising.

unfortunate, but i think its pretty typical for a TAFEseedorf said:in all honesty the people at Ultimo didnt look too promising either
yes but im basically repeating the subjects i did last year (with the exception of Modern History and Economics, high band5s), so it cant be that hard through OTEN right?kami said:DON'T DO IT THROUGH OTEN! It makes it 20 times more difficult.
If you are having problems finding the classes try the night classes that are offered at various TAFEs as this should not clash with your timetable and night class people are generally a better bunch too as they're usually people with jobs or kids that are there to get a HSC not muck around. Next the subject load only applies to someone who has completed neither year 11 or year 12, personally I am on my second year at HSC at TAFE with no year11 or 12 experience and have just enrolled in Xt1&2 Eng, 4u math, chemistry and physics all in the combined form, so just enroll in subs YOU choose and don't let the faculty push you around.
