A "statement of attainment" (SOA) is a document students receive verifying the units of competency they've completed as part of a nationally-recognised course.
In contrast to certificates, which are issued when a student completes a full set of study modules within a given course - SOAs are given when the student completes one or more of these units of competency, but not the entire list required for a full qualification. These documents essentially serve to showcase the specific units of competency a student has completed within a nationally-recognised training course.
A skill set, consisting of accredited units of competency, is a focused and specialized collection of skills and knowledge aimed at enhancing employment opportunities. By developing and building on existing skills or upskilling in a new area, skill sets provide individuals with the necessary expertise to enter their desired industry.
Studying a skill set offers several advantages, including gaining specialized skills, the opportunity to trial a full qualification before committing to the entire course, and receiving a Statement of Attainment upon completion for resume enhancement. Skill sets are ideal for time-constrained students seeking valuable core skills without excessive costs.
