Neve Portelli - I wanted to have a VET certificate to add to my resume at the end of school.  I enjoy it being at school as it is more applied. You learn about standards and advanced procedures in a workplace that is relevant to every business.  Tasks are very different and include getting out of your comfort zone. To not waste your time during class and stay on task as they are short sessions so the workload can build up very quickly.
