qualifications than is the case for the NT as a whole. Certificates I and II represent<br />

Participation in Certificates III and IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses is lower<br />

than in the NT overall.<br />

VET participation in the Central region is further pr<strong>of</strong>iled in Table 4.105, which shows<br />

student numbers by field <strong>of</strong> study. The numbers show where skills are being developed in<br />

the population. Only those fields with 1% or more <strong>of</strong> the total student numbers are shown.<br />
