GENERAL INFORMATION

Vocational Education and Training (VET) is a way for you to

experience the world of work in a range of occupations whilst

still at school.

All VET courses are designed to prepare you for the world of

work and/or further training, predominantly at TAFE.

Each course can be one, two or three semesters in length

dependent on the qualification.

Typically, students will be required to complete one day a week

off-site at a school, TAFE or a Registered Training Organisation

(RTO) for the duration of the course

VET in SACE

As part of their SACE, students can complete VET that is within the AQF

(Australian Qualifications Framework).

The SACE Board's recognition arrangements enable students to build meaningful

pathways in the SACE through VET.

The recognition arrangements for VET in the SACE include recognition of:

completed qualifications

partly completed qualifications

The SACE enables students to include a

significant amount of VET in their SACE studies.

Year 10 students can gain recognition for SACE

credits at Stage 1
