Benefits of the VET Schools Program

Flexible Studies

Our courses work around students existing high school structure. The VET in Schools Program also counts towards a high school certificate.

By taking on a nationally-accredited VET qualification during high school studies, you become equipped with job-ready skills that can lead to employment sooner or provide a pathway to university.

Further Pathways

There is more than one way to achieve a university dream! Completing a VET qualification in school will enable you to move onto a certificate IV or diploma in your chosen field.

Many Australian universities use these qualifications from the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) to qualify students for entry. Many students who didn’t pursue a purely academic path in year 12 use it as a stepping stone to university. Students may be eligible to receive credit towards their chosen degree from a VET qualification.

Making the right choice

The Schools Program presents an opportunity to explore a student's options before they graduate through:

The University Option

Studying a Certificate II or Certificate III qualification before you finish high school may make it easier to gain entry into university, and shorten the time it takes to complete a degree.

Practical Icon

The Career Option

University isn’t for everyone — you may prefer to go straight into work. Building real-world skills while you’re still at school may make it easier to secure an entry-level position in the workforce.
