Why Choose Vocational Education and Training?
VET Programmes (Vocational Education and Training)
- are Nationally Recognised Certificate Courses which
allow you to begin industry qualifications while at College.
- provide quality on and off the job training which is
highly valued by employers.
- give you an advantage in your pathways to further
education, training and the workplace.
- recognise competencies you have already gained from
other training, courses and life experiences through RPL
(Recognition of Prior Learning).
- See your programme coordinator for further details.
Planning Your VET Course
 Industry Specific Programmes
Within each of the VET Programmes you need to study the subjects
listed in the Certificate section. These subjects include:
Industry Specific C subjects - which develop your knowledge
and skills for your chosen industry.
Vocational Learning - which develops your general workplace
skills and includes industry placements.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that you select an
English and a Mathematics subject as appropriate to your
background. Computing Subjects are also very relevant to VET
courses. Programmes also list specific suggestions to complement
your course. Read these carefully and plan your course to
comprise at least four lines.
Value Adding Through VET
Do you have a part time job?
If you do you may be able to gain accreditation for the
skills you have gained at work.
If you are not enrolling in a VET Programme consider enrolling
in the RPL Programme. RPL stands for Recognition of Prior
Learning. This is a one-line programme where you will meet with
a coordinator on a negotiated basis to complete the necessary
documentation to gain a statement of Attainment or Certificate
in your field of employment.
