qualifications than is the case for the NT as a whole. Certificates I and II represent<br />
54% <strong>of</strong> training in the region compared to 43% in the NT.<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 />
