What is VETiS?

Some students undertake nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualifications while they are still at school.
VET is learning which is directly related to work. Nationally recognised qualifications are developed by industry to give people the knowledge and skills they need to work in a particular job.
Students can undertake VET at school:
  • as part of their school studies - delivered and resourced by a school registered training organisation (RTO)
  • by enrolling in a qualification with an external RTO - funded either by the department's VET investment budget or through fee-for-service arrangements i.e. where the student or parent pays for the qualification
  • as a school-based apprentice or trainee

 

What qualifications are available?

 

Our training facilities and resource materials have been designed to provide a hands-on experience for students.
Utilising our classroom training facilities, well equipped workshops and simulated work environments, students gain skills and confidence. When students find themselves in an actual work environment, they not only have the underpinning knowledge and skills, but they are familiar with workplace procedures and basic equipment including its function, operation and maintenance.

 

Entry requirements

Must be enrolled in year 10, 11 or 12. Students will be required to provide their USI and complete a language, literacy and numeracy evaluation.

For the Employer, VETiS funding by the VET investment budget

VETiS qualifications funded by the VET investment budget are listed on the Priority Skills List. These qualifications are delivered by RTOs who have been approved by the department as Skills Assure suppliers (SAS) under the Certificate 3 Guarantee. Schools, in consultation with students and their parents, are able to choose any SAS approved to deliver the eligible qualification.
Students undertaking VETiS, funded by the VET Investment budget, can complete one employment stream qualification at the certificate I or II level.
VETiS qualifications on the Priority Skills List are at the certificate I and II level. Students who wish to access the VET investment budget to undertake a certificate III qualification should do so through a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship (SAT)—funding for a SAT is available under the User Choice program.
Other certificate III qualifications may be delivered and funded outside of a SAT pathway, where an Industry Proposal Funding Submission (DOCX, 135KB) is submitted by an employer or industry body to support local employment opportunities.
