What is the difference between Group A and Group B electives?

At least four electives must be from Group A.

Sources checked 2026-10-08 · Prepared 2026-10-09

What does this mean for a new leader?

Four of the seven electives must come from Group A. The other three can come from Groups A and B, with up to two suitable unlisted units at Certificate IV or above under the stated import rules. Group labels therefore matter when checking a proposed package.

How can you prepare or compare?

Ask the provider to label its chosen units by group and explain any imported choices. A list of seven appealing topics does not by itself show that the packaging rules are met. Also confirm which choices are fixed for your intake and whether any changes are available.

Ask the provider to show the group for each elective.
