Introduction to VET
VCE VET programs are vocational training programs approved by the VCAA following consultation with schools, industry and training providers. VET (Vocational Education and Training) refers to any TAFE course that is aimed at preparing students for the workforce. The VET Delivered to Secondary Students (VETDSS) program allows students to undertake a certificate level course part-time over two years as part of their VCE or VCE VM studies
Most VET subjects can contribute to the ATAR and students should make sure they are aware of the requirements of the course before applying. Some courses will have a VCAA exam, compulsory work placement or compulsory classes during the school holiday period.
Albert Park College partners with IELLEN VET Cluster and a range of TAFE instituted and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to facilitate VET courses for students. Students can only undertake a VET course with an approved partner TAFE or RTO and with approval by the school. Students will only be approved to study a VET course if it takes place on Wednesday afternoons and works within the Albert Park College timetable. 2026 course guides will be updated as they become available.
Providers assess students against Units of Competency (UOC) and issue interim, semester, and final reports. A statement of results is provided after year one and a statement of attainment after year two for successful completion.
When considering a VET course students should take the below factors into account:
-Distance from APC to the VET location
-Public transport routes
-Prerequisites such as specific subject requirements, equipment etc
Enrolment into VET courses is determined by the TAFE or RTO provider, and places in VET courses cannot be guaranteed. If a place can not be secured students will be placed in a subject at Albert Park College.
