Description

For some students, including a VET subject as part of their VCE program is an attractive option. A VET study normally involves a two-year training program during which the students complete a nationally recognised vocational qualification (e.g. Certificate II in Hospitality), in addition to their other VCE studies.

VET studies may also contribute to the calculation of a student's ATAR score as part of the primary four, as a fifth or sixth study, or as a block credit.

The programs are delivered by a range of external providers at a number of venues across Melbourne. Classes are usually held on Wednesdays and attendance may mean students miss one or more lessons in their Carey subjects.

A fee for service may be charged in addition to the normal course load at Carey. Costs vary according to the VET program selected. 

A list of VCE VET Courses is available here.

 

Application

Students interested in VET subjects should register their interest as part of the online subject selection process.

Places are not guaranteed and external providers may give preference to those students who apply first.

As timetabling conflicts will occur with normal curriculum offerings at Carey, students need to discuss the ramifications of undertaking a VET study with the VCE Co-ordinators or their Careers Practitioner before applying.

Fees

Studying a course external to Carey may incur an additional charge.
