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.
