VET qualifications are nationally recognised and regulated, ensuring all courses meet rigorous standards for quality, relevance, and compliance with industry requirements.
Graduate with the skills you need to start working right away. Build the practical skills and industry knowledge needed to enter the workforce with confidence.
Students will need to complete work placement supervised by qualified staff in order to gain hands-on experience in a real-world setting.
Government funding may be available for eligible students. Funding is available for vocational education courses that meet skills shortages on a state level.
Entry requirements for VET courses include both national standards and additional criteria set by individual Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).
It’s important to review these requirements for each course provider to ensure you meet all necessary prerequisites before applying.
Course fees vary depending on the course provider.
Government funding may be available to Australian citizens or permanent residents. Eligibility depends on your location, employment status, and whether the course and provider are approved for funding.
