VET

What is VET?

Vocational Education and Training programs are designed to help students make the transition to further education or training, work, or a blend of both training and work. You must choose a VET if you are choosing the VCE VM course.

Why Choose a VET Program?

To increase the options available for students to participate in vocational education and training during their secondary schooling.
To enhance both employment and education for young people by developing partnerships between schools and employers.
To provide students with the option of undertaking a broad range of studies to meet their individual needs.
To respond to the needs of industry by providing young people with a greater range of more relevant skills.
To get credit for your VCE course.

VCE VET Studies

VCE VET programs provide the opportunity to undertake entry level TAFE training within the VCE. On completion, students will have obtained their VCE and a Vocational Educational and Training certificate, which will allow them to either move on to further education and training or to seek employment. These programs broaden post-school options with workplace and training experiences, which enhance student readiness for further training and employment. VCE VET programs are fully recognised within the Unit 1-4 structure of the VCE and therefore may contribute towards satisfactory completion of VCE. VCE VET units have equal status with other VCE studies. Some VCE VET units are scored and thus can be included in the student’s primary four subjects in their ATAR calculation. Non-scored VCE VET subjects are calculated using ten percent of the lowest study score of the primary four VCE studies.

Program Delivery and Costs

VET courses are normally delivered on Wednesday afternoons from 1:45pm until approximately 5.45 pm by fully qualified Workplace Trainers and Assessors. The courses are delivered at a range of venues including industry locations, secondary schools and TAFE institutes around the Melbourne metropolitan region. There is a delivery cost associated with VET courses that will be announced in Term 4 of each year.
