SBATS
(School-Based Traineeships/Apprenticeships)
School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBAT) provide students with the opportunity to attain a nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification as well as their Higher School Certificate (HSC) whilst also gaining valuable work skills and experience through paid employment.
Students will need to seek opportunities for a SBAT or SBAA with willing employers.

■ enroll in and successfully complete a minimum Certificate II AQF qualification as specified in the VTO
■ undertake the on-the-job training requirements of a minimum of 100 days concurrently with the formal training requirements
■ complete the formal training requirements as listed on the Training Plan by the end of Term 3 of the HSC year
■ be entered with NESA for study in the HSC (Stage 6).
