The EST is based on Unit 3 syllabus content and schools are advised that the syllabus content is now available for 46 courses on the course page on the Authority’s website. The EST content for the following 10 courses will be available early October 2015:

Ancient History
Applied Information Technology (Foundation)

Computer Science
Earth and Environmental Science
Engineering Studies
Literature
Marine and Maritime Studies
Physics
Religion and Life.

From 2016, schools will be required to identify an EST Coordinator. These details will be required for the Provider Information Update form which is to be completed by schools in January 2016.
