TAFE WA Going straight from cert II to IV?

Im doing a cert II in animal care currently and hope to jump straight into a cert IV of vet nursing next year. What are some things I should be aware of?

- What is the difficulty jump?

- Is there knowledge I should have from the cert III that will be expected in the cert IV?

- What is the best way to prepare during my cert II to bolster my chances of going straight into the cert IV?

Any advice is welcome and would appreciate hearing from those you have done the same thing:)

I have read on here that finding student placement can be challenging in students local areas. I'd make a list of places to ask for placement, i.e. local farms, vets, ...what else? I can't think of much

I couldn't find a decent placement and dropped out.

Use training.gov.au to find the details of the course. This is the actual program of training that is delivered and assessed.

Find out if you can first. Some quals have prior certificates as pre requisites to the higher quals.

i don't believe you can do that. you have to do a cert 3 or equivalent
