If interested in traineeships, apprenticeships, TAFE courses and/or work experience, please contact Adele Blissett, VET Pathways Officer.​

Each subject contains units of competency (modules) based on Competency Based Training (CBT), meaning it measures your ability to perform a specific task to a precise standard under specific conditions. These standards have been set by industry, and are set out in the VET Quality Framework (VQF). The College’s training and assessment practices are relevant to the needs of industry and informed by industry engagement.

​Each course will contain a variety of learning activities giving students the opportunity to progress according to individual learning styles. Students will be provided with multiple opportunities throughout the duration of the course to demonstrate competency. Students are encouraged to become actively involved in learning to ensure they are able to obtain and absorb the required knowledge and skills prior to assessment.

Some VET courses include compulsory structured work placement. Work placement may occur during school hours or out of school hours, for example after school or in school holidays. Please refer to individual course outlines for work placement requirements and contact the Futures Room if you have any questions.
