Industry Specific Skills VET
Course Description
A VET ( Vocational Training and Education ) in the VCE program enables you to widen your horizons and on successful completion, gain two qualifications instead of one, a nationally recognised VET/TAFE Certificate. VET provides you with the opportunity to obtain a broad based education that links training to industry and encourages innovation, independence and entrepreneurial endeavour.
At Tarneit Senior College, we are aligned with two RTO's (Registered Training Organisations) ensuring that we are catering for and supporting the vast majority of student pathways.
