Vocational Education and Training (VET) - RTO 30433
Vocational Education and Training
(VET) enables students to gain qualifications for all types of employment, and
specific skills to help them in the workplace.
Student achievement in
accredited vocational education qualifications is based on industry-endorsed
competency standards and is recorded on the Senior Statement. The Senior Statement
is recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), and this
may give advanced standing towards a traineeship or apprenticeship and/or
credit on entry to courses at TAFE Institutes and other registered training
organisations.
VET Qualifications contribute
to the Queensland Certificate of Education if the required standard is reached.

in Year 10, 11 and 12:
