  • University and College programs and relevant subject prerequisites, OP or rank order and how to upgrade in one year by understanding GPA (Grade Point Average)
  • QTAC applications – draft choices for September, changing preferences in December and response to offers in January and how to apply for a Second Round offer for February.
  • Obtaining part-time work – letter of application, resume writing and job interview skills
