VET IN SCHOOLS (VETIS)

Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) is a learning pathway which enables students to gain a nationally recognised qualification as part of their school studies, delivered by a qualified school teacher or Trainer Assessor in partnership with Civil Safety.

VET has an important role in many senior secondary student pathway options. The QCAA recognises completion and partial completion of VET qualifications and assigns credit to the QCE appropriate to the amount of learning completed by a student.

  • Run to fit within school timetable

  • In-service training day for the school VET teacher
