VET Overview

VCE VET programs are vocational training programs approved by VCAA. VCE VET programs lead to nationally recognised qualifications, thereby offering students the opportunity to gain both the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and a nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificate. VCE VET programs are fully recognised within the Units 1 to 4 structure of the VCE and contribute towards satisfactory completion of the VCE. VCE VET units have the same status as other VCE units.

VET enables students to acquire workplace skills through nationally recognised training described within an industry-developed training package or an accredited course. An RTO issues a VET qualification. The achievement of a VET qualification signifies that a student has demonstrated competency against the skills and knowledge required to perform effectively in the workplace. VET delivered to secondary students is the same as all other VET.
