INFO SHEET 5 2019-3

VET COURSES DIFFER FROM OTHER HSC SUBJECTS

Do VET Courses differ from other ‘conventional’ HSC Subjects? • YES. VET Courses are industry-specific adult training courses developed by industry/business to

provide the relevant and necessary adult training and qualifications for working/employment in the related industry and business occupational areas.

• Thus, the compliance, management and operational requirements for VET Courses and the assessment of these courses, including those classified as HSC VET Courses, must meet external industry/business-specific competency-based requirements and national compliance standards as well as any HSC requirements set by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for these courses as part of a school student’s HSC Studies.

How, and against what criteria, are students assessed in VET Courses?

• Industry-specific adult training VET courses are competency-based courses. Assessment in these courses results in students being deemed “competent” or “not competent”.

• In order to be deemed “competent” a student must meet the “inherent requirements”, that is the fundamental parts, of a course.

• The inherent requirements of a course are the abilities, skills and knowledge students need to complete the course; that is, those components of the course which, if removed, would compromise the learning outcomes.

• Therefore, it is important to note:

(1) competency-based assessment does not mean that a person of any ability level can and will be able to achieve and attain “competence” in a VET course

(2) VET Courses, unlike conventional HSC Subjects, do not have Life Skills options, but RTOs must make “reasonable adjustments” to support students to meet the “inherent requirements” of a course, providing this does not cause unjustifiable hardship to the RTO and/or compromise the learning outcomes of the course.

(3) a student who cannot meet the “inherent requirements” of a VET course, even with “reasonable adjustments”, cannot undertake the course.

• Competence in UOC can only be assessed by a qualified industry trainer and assessor.

What are the compliance requirements for VET Courses? • As industry-specific adult training courses, all VET Courses, including those delivered in schools

as part of the HSC, must be operated, managed, delivered and assessed by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO – see training.gov.au) in compliance with the national standards set by the Australian Skills Quality Authority, ASQA (asqa.gov.au) and in accordance with the relevant Industry Training Package (ITP).

• All VET Course Trainers, including school teachers qualified by industry as VET Trainers & Assessors, must be authorised by, and provided by (or operate under the auspices of), an ASQA-registered RTO to deliver and assess a VET course/s.

• Therefore, in order to deliver and assess VET courses as part of HSC Studies, school teachers must complete the relevant industry-recognised VET course training and the industry required qualification as a VET Trainer & Assessor.

• NESA may “tweak” industry VET Courses delivered at schools as part of HSC Studies. Hence, VET Trainers, including industry qualified school teachers, must also comply with both industry/ASQA requirements and with NESA’s HSC requirements, including providing support for students who wish to prepare for a NESA-developed optional HSC VET examination (for use in the calculation of an ATAR. See Info Sheet 2).

• VET Courses in Automotive, Electrotechnology and Early Childhood Education and Care are delivered and assessed by external VET Course Trainers provided, or authorised, by the relevant RTOs. These Trainers attend the Delivery School, Penrith Christian School, on VET Course Days during the scheduled timetabled time only (see below for more detailed information).

What impacts on KEY Alliance Schools are there for the delivery and operation of HSC VET Courses? ALLIANCE COORDINATION

• Penrith Christian School (PCS) is the Lead School of the KEY Alliance. With financial contribution from Alliance partner schools, PCS’ Head of VET exercises responsibility as the KEY Alliance Coordinator for the overall operational coordination and management of the Alliance.

• A strategic part of the KEY Alliance Coordinator’s role is to manage and maintain the good will and the negotiated agreements between (1) all partner schools; (2) external industry organisations and RTOs; and (3) external VET Trainers. This includes ensuring clear and timely liaison and communications as needed or required.

SCHEDULING/TIMETABLING • Classes for VET Courses are comprised, usually, of students from both the Delivery School and

other Alliance Schools. However, in some cases a VET Course Class may not include any Delivery School students but be comprised solely of students from partner schools.

• To allow participation in VET courses by students from partner schools, School Principals have agreed to a fixed scheduled timetabled time for VET Courses of 1.30pm - 5.30pm on Tuesdays for Year 12 (in the Y12 academic year) and Thursdays for Year 11 (in the Y11 academic year). Consequently, VET Courses cannot be timetabled at different times and/or on different days.

SPECIALIST/PURPOSE-BUILT SPACES – “WORKSHOPS” AND “CLASSROOMS” • Specialist Spaces, comprising “workshop” and “classroom” areas fitted with all necessary and

appropriate equipment, tools and resources, are required for the VET Courses in Automotive, Construction, Electrotechnology, Entertainment, Hospitality and Information & Digital Technology.

• Delivery Schools must ensure that these appropriately equipped Specialist Spaces are provided and available for the exclusive use of these VET courses during their scheduled timetabled time.

How important is clear and timely communication of variations? • Very important. Clear and timely communication is vital to the success of collaborative enterprises,

such as the KEY Alliance. This is particularly the case regarding any and all variations to the delivery of a VET Course in order to avoid or minimise the negative impact and/or inconvenience to students, parents, partner schools, external RTOs and/or external Trainers.

Enrolment IMPORTANT INFORMATION

READ this Information carefully before filling in the Enrolment Form.

Read carefully the following important information. It may assist in a decision to undertake an HSC VET Course and/or a Standard HSC Course (eg, Extension 2 Mathematics) offered through the KEY Alliance. PRIVACY NOTE about the collection of Student Information: Please see the KEY Alliance Handbook for the PRIVACY NOTICE about the collection of a Student’s Personal Information by a partner Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and the possible uses to which the RTO and/or NCVER may put this information.

1. HSC VET COURSES: Important Note: VET Courses are adult training courses developed by industry to assess competence against standards/benchmarks required of workers in respective industries. Students enrolled are required to be able, with “reasonable adjustments” if necessary, to meet the “inherent requirements” of a course without compromising the course’s learning outcomes. (For more information, see ‘Info Sheet 5’ and, especially, the ‘KEY Alliance Handbook’.)

What Australia-wide industry-recognised VET qualification may VET students receive?

1. Students receive a Statement of Attainment (SOA) or Transcript for any and all Units of Competency that they actually achieve (that is, for which they have been assessed as Competent.)

2. To be awarded or receive the full Certificate for the training level of a delivered VET Course, eg, Certificate II or Certificate III, students must be assessed as Competent in all the Core and Elective Units of Competency required by the relevant Industry Training Package (ITP).

What clarifications, caveats and other important information do students need to know about VET Courses?

3. VET Courses delivered as part of the HSC are approved by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) as either: a. An Industry Curriculum Framework (ICF). ICFs have an optional HSC examination for ATAR calculation. Or b. A Board Endorsed Course (BEC). BECs do not have an optional HSC exam for ATAR calculation.

4. HSC VET Courses, usually, are timetabled for 240 Hours over 2 years, but: a. They may not include all the Core and Elective Units of Competency required by the Industry Training Package for the

award of a full Certificate II or Certificate III qualification; and/or b. They may require undertaking additional timetabled hours and additional Units of Competency in order to meet the ITP

requirements for the award of a full Certificate II or Certificate III qualification; or c. The award of a full Certificate II or Certificate III may require the successful completion of an Apprenticeship or

Traineeship. 5. HSC VET Courses, usually, are timetabled on the following Days and Times:

a. Year 11 on Thursdays from 1.30pm - 5.30pm in Terms 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the 1st year of HSC studies. b. Year 12 on Tuesdays from 1.30pm - 5.30pm in Terms 1, 2 & 3 of the 2nd (last) year of HSC studies.

6. The KEY Alliance cannot guarantee: a. The delivery of, or access to the delivery of, additional timetabled hours and training/Units of Competency for an

Alliance-provided 240hour course; or b. The delivery of, or access to the delivery of, an EVET VET course provided by an External RTO; or c. The delivery of, or access to the delivery of, a School-based (part-time) or Full-time Apprenticeship or Traineeship.

7. If access is able to be provided for students to undertake (a) additional training/hours to an Alliance-provided 240hour course or (b) an EVET VET course provided by an External RTO, then, the student/family will be responsible to pay any required fees/costs for this additional training or EVET Course. If Home Schools can provide and/or have access to any funding subsidy/ies towards defraying these fees/costs, then, usually, the subsidy will be deducted from the total fees/costs and the student/family will become responsible for the remaining balance.


What other important information about HSC VET Courses do students need to know?

8. Transport to and from VET Courses:

a. Home Schools manage and oversee transport to Delivery Schools for both their Year 11 and Year 12 VET students. b. At the end of VET classes, Year 11 and Year 12 students must arrange their own transport from their Delivery School to

their home.

9. Attendance at VET Courses/Classes: Students are expected to attend VET Courses/Classes 85% of the scheduled time, including during formal examination periods, and in that time to apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort to meet all course requirements.

10. Competency-based Assessment of VET courses: As industry developed courses VET courses are assessed by the practical demonstration of applied knowledge and skills in the completion of set tasks and activities over time. That is, VET assessment is competency-based rather than examination-based.

11. Optional HSC Examination for VET Curriculum Framework Courses: Schools may enrol students, effectively automatically, in the optional HSC VET Examinations. However, please note the following key points:

a. The HSC VET examinations are optional. Students may choose not to sit these exams without any penalty. b. Students may be required after the HSC Trial Examinations to confirm their intention/decision to sit or not to sit the

optional HSC VET Examination in writing through their Home Schools’ usual process for “changing, adding or dropping” an HSC Subject.

c. Year 12 students who choose not to apply for university admissions the following year may choose to not sit the optional HSC VET Examination. Please note that choosing to do this, may render a student ineligible for the calculation of an ATAR due to having insufficient HSC units (that is, having less than 10 Units).

d. Year 12 students who officially advise of their choice not to sit the optional HSC VET Examination will be required to sit the HSC Trial Examination as they may choose after that time to opt to sit the optional exam.

e. The optional HSC examination is not a part of the industry VET Course and it is not included on any official industry Statement of Attainment/Transcript of achieved Competencies that students may receive.

f. NESA has developed the optional exams to give universities an academic result to use in the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) needed by HSC School Leavers who wish to apply for admission into university courses the year immediately after completing their HSC.

g. The VET Curriculum Framework Courses are Category B subjects for admission into university and only one Category B subject may be used in the calculation of the ATAR.

h. Year 12 students who intend to apply for university admissions the following year, and so need an ATAR calculated, must sit the optional HSC VET Examination.

**USI (UNIQUE STUDENT IDENTIFIER) – CREATING A USI IS A MANDATORY (MUST DO) REQUIREMENT

VET students must create a USI – The Australian Government requires all persons undertaking a VET course to create a USI at the website <usi.gov.au>. To create a USI, students need Proof of Identity, eg, a Learners Drivers Licence; Medicare Card*.

* For Medicare Card as Proof of Identity the following information must be provided:

§ Medicare Number (all numbers including last separated digit) § The number next to their name on the card § Their name as spelt and recorded on the card including middle initials § The expiry date of the card § The colour of the card.

**USI - Important Note: Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) cannot issue industry Statements of Attainment/Transcripts and/or Certificates to students who do not have a USI.

2. STANDARD HSC COURSES studied/delivered at an Alliance School that is not a student’s Home School) What arrangements can students expect for Standard HSC Courses?

1. Standard HSC Course/s, usually, refer to Year 12 HSC extension courses such as Extension 2 Maths or Extension History.


2. These courses will be scheduled, usually, to coincide with VET Courses on a Tuesday and/or a Thursday afternoon to take advantage of VET transport arrangements to Delivery Schools; otherwise, if on a different day, the organisation/transport will be negotiated between the Home and Delivery Schools.

ENROLLING IN HSC VET COURSES AND/OR NOT-AT-THE-HOME-SCHOOL STANDARD HSC COURSES: 1. All students must complete a KEY Alliance Enrolment Form. Completed Forms must be handed in to the Home School VET

Coordinator who will then scan and email them to the Delivery School of the HSC VET Course and/or Standard HSC Course.

2. Very Important Note about Course Attendance: Please note well that a completed and signed (by the student and a parent/carer) KEY Alliance ENROLMENT FORM must be received for processing by the Delivery School before a student can attend an HSC VET Course and/or a Standard HSC Course.
