Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VET) is a program that enables students to gain a nationally recognised qualification while at school. 

Students gain knowledge and acquire workplace skills required for specific industries. 

VET can be undertaken in years 10, 11 and 12, and can count towards the Victorian Certificate of Education or the Victorian Certificate of Education Vocational Major. 

The achievement of a VET qualification signifies that a student has demonstrated competency against the skills and knowledge required to perform effectively in the workplace.

VETDSS programs are held at, RTO's (Registered Training Organisation's), TAFE colleges (usually Chisholm Frankston), Mount Erin College, or other Secondary Colleges.

VETDSS are usually a Certificate II or III program run over 2 years.  

Students must enrol, and attend, in a VET course as a requirement of enrolling in the VCE VM program.

VETDSS contributes to the satisfactory completion of the Victorian Certificate of Education Vocational Major (VCE-VM).

After successfully completing your course you will obtain a nationally recognised qualification or partial qualification depending on your chosen field of study, as well as your VCE-VM qualification.

VET programs may run on any school day.

VCE VET programs are fully recognised within the Units 1 to 4 structure of the VCE and contribute towards satisfactory completion of the VCE. 

VCE VET units have the same status as other VCE units.

After successfully completing your course you will obtain a nationally recognised qualification or partial qualification depending on your chosen field of study, as well as your VCE qualification.

VET programs may run on any school day, therefore students need to be aware that attendance at the VET course will have an impact on your timetable.
