VCE / VET Certificate II in Engineering Studies

Students and families should be advised that VET Engineering will be delivered by an external provider, which will require students to travel to either Bendigo or a school in the Macedon Ranges, for one day per week.

Focus:

Students selecting this course will complete modules leading to the attainment of part completion of 22632VIC. This course provides the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to perform entry level roles across the 4 main areas of engineering technology – fabrication, electrical/ electronics, production and mechanical.

Examples of VCE/VET Unit 1 to 4 Modules:

Lathe Turning, Milling, Drilling, Sheet Metal & Steal Fabrication, Designing, Drawing, OH&S, Risk Management, Independent Practice and use of Hand and Power tools.

Commitment:

• Students completing VCE/ VET Units 1 and 2 modules receive a Certificate of Attainment. This is a two year course/ certificate. Students need to select and enroll in both Units 1 and 2.

• Students completing the whole of Certificate II would also be credited with VCE Units 1, 2, 3 and 4.

• This course requires a structured work placement each year. This could involve some combination of school time, after school time and holiday time.

Note:

Units 3 and 4 VET Engineering Studies is a scored VCE subject. This means that students can, if they choose to do so, have their Units 3 and 4 modules of Engineering counted in their ATAR score by sitting for the end of year exam, and completing assessment tasks during the year.
