Vocational Education & Training (VET )
VET in VCE or VCALVET (Vocational Education & Training) programs are generally what
people think of as TAFE courses or part time apprenticeships.
Successful completion of a VET program provides :
• Industry specific training leading to a nationally recognised
Certificate from a TAFE (or private provider).
• Insight into that industry & Work Placement opportunities
• Part of VCE or VCAL
VET in VCE
VET can be part of VCE – each VET program counts as one VCE subject
VET Programs are generally 2 year courses so students must start the
VET course in Year 10 or Year 11. A Year 11 level certificate must be
successfully completed before it can be undertaken at a Year 12
level.
VET certificates can be included in the ENTER score.
