VET

Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are nationally recognised qualifications and provide an opportunity for students to receive credit towards their Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), VCE Vocational Major (VM) or Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC). These qualifications are provided through TAFEs and are delivered across several Secondary Schools and TAFEs. VET is not a stand alone senior secondary certificate, rather, students can study a VET unit as part of their VCE-VM, VPC and in some cases their VCE program.
