VOCATIONAL EDUCATIONAL COURSES Explained:
Vocational Education and Training (VET) Courses are offered as part of the HSC. These courses are relevant to industry needs and have clear links to post-school destinations. They are approved by NESA (https://tinyurl.com/yycwjcb2) as Category B courses and have national accreditation from industry under the auspices of ASQA (Australian Skills Quality Authority) https://www.asqa.gov.au/.
*NOTE: some courses such as Hospitality are offered as courses earlier in Year 9 and Year 10, each RTO may have a different structure so you will need to check first. If you complete your course earlier, you will still receive accreditation with your HSC

These courses allow you to gain both the HSC and national accreditation with industry and the workplace as part of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) (https://www.asqa.gov.au/) . The National Framework is recognised across Australia and it helps you to move easily between the various educational and training sectors and employment. These courses will give you advanced standing at accredited TAFE Colleges and private colleges.

Most courses involve a structured workplacement program in industry in which you must demonstrate that you have mastered the specific competencies required by the industry. Each course has a specific workplace component and a minimum number of hours that you spend in the workplace. For example; A student who chooses Entertainment in Years 11 and 12 will complete a total of 70 hours of workplacement, 35 hours On Site and 35 hours Offsite *may vary from each RTO. The school or external VET provider will organise a suitable host employer. If you successfully complete these courses they are noted on your HSC and you also receive a separate certificate. You also receive special documentation showing the competencies gained.

RTO's, Schools and TAFE offer a number of VET courses such as Automotive, Business Services, Construction, Electrotechnology, Entertainment Industry, Financial Services, Hospitality, Human Services, Information and Digital Technology, Metal and Engineering, Primary Industries, Retail Services and Tourism, Travel and Events. Links to these are featured on the welcome post. This is an excellent choice if you wish to pursue an interest or you are not interested in university study. If you are studying with the intention of attending university, you can only count one Category B course towards an ATAR and must sit for the HSC examination in that course.
