2014 NCAT FOLIO PREPARATION | CREATE: 100% SUCCESS RATE!

We are thrilled to announce that all of our 2014 NCAT Folio Preparation students who successfully completed the VTAC Tertiary/TAFE application process have been given first round offers! This follows the last three year's 100% success rate! All the NCAT Create students who applied to courses gained entry into them. Many Create students have gone on to establish personal art practice in a studio environment and one has landed an artist in residency position with the City of Yarra.

Our NCAT Folio Preparation and NCAT Create students will be going on to highly diverse courses from within the Art and Design fields, as well as into private and public arts practice, which is really exciting to see.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them all on their hard work and persistence. Some students came to us unsure of their direction but they all left us confident, well skilled and really ready for University. Their preparation included intensive work on interview techniques, research on career pathways, a methodical approach to the VTAC preselection process and the production of truly amazing art and design folios. They will confidently head off to university with friends made at Folio Preparation.

We wish them all well on their individual journeys and look forward to seeing them do wonderful things in the future! We will also enjoy seeing them return to NCAT to possibly present to staff and students at forums and Industry days in the coming years.
