GENERAL INFORMATION

   Vocational Education and Training (VET) is a way for you to
    experience the world of work in a range of occupations whilst
    still at school.
   All VET courses are designed to prepare you for the world of
    work and/or further training, predominantly at TAFE.
   Each course can be one, two or three semesters in length
    dependent on the qualification.
   Typically, students will be required to complete one day a week
    off-site at a school, TAFE or a Registered Training Organisation
    (RTO) for the duration of the course

VET in SACE

   As part of their SACE, students can complete VET that is within the AQF
    (Australian Qualifications Framework).
   The SACE Board's recognition arrangements enable students to build meaningful
    pathways in the SACE through VET.
   The recognition arrangements for VET in the SACE include recognition of:
        completed qualifications
        partly completed qualifications

     The SACE enables students to include a
     significant amount of VET in their SACE studies.
     Year 10 students can gain recognition for SACE
         credits at Stage 1
