VET in Schools Overview
Mechanisms for recognition of VET in the VCE
VCE VET• Industry and TAFE consultation• Generally whole qualifications• Packaged into VCE VET units of credit
at levels 1,2,3-4 sequence• Centrally managed – program booklets• Scored assessment available for
specific VCE VET programs• No credit for Certificate I training• VES on VASS (Victorian Assessment
Software System)
Recognition mechanisms within VCE continued
School Based Apprenticeships (SBAs) with VCE VET units
• Credit arrangements that exist for corresponding certificates in VCE VET programs apply
• 11 industry areas that are formally promoted through central management
• BUT many more SBA opportunities outside the 11 profiled industry areas
• Access to scored assessment as for VCE VET in Business, Community Services, Hospitality, IT and Sport and Recreation
Recognition mechanisms within VCE continued
Block Credit Recognition in the VCE
• Student must be enrolled in the VCE
• Formula applied to determine credit based on hours of training completed and AQF level of units of competence
• Nationally recognised VET at Certificate II and above that is not available through the suite of VCE VET and corresponding SBA programs
• No credit for Certificate I training
• Judgments on duplication
Block Credit Recognition examples
WRB20104 Certificate II in Nail Technology–220 hours of Cert II training completed Student is eligible for 2 units at Units 1–2
CHC30302 Certificate III in Disability Work-200 hours of identifiable Certificate III training (partial completion of qual)Student is eligible for Unit 3–4 sequence VTAC provides a 10% increment
Block Credit Recognition -other industry areas include:
Personal Services
Transport & Distribution
Retail Public SafetyBusinessElectrotechnology
Art & DesignGeneral EducationChristian MinistryAnimal Studies SportApplied Language
Contribution to satisfactory completion of the VCE
Of the minimum 16 units (including at least 3 units of English) required for satisfactory completion, up to 13 may come from VET (includes VCE VET, SBAs and block credit)
Student must have three unit 3-4 sequences other than English, all of which may come from VET, notwithstanding duplication
Additional VCE VET units will appear on the student’s Statement of Results, as with VCE units over and above the minimum 16
ENTER contributionVTAC :
• Relaxed restrictions on VET contribution to ENTER from 2008 – no limit on number of VET studies to be counted in ENTER including primary four
• Restrictions on study combinations remain ie. IT or Music
Refer to VTAC website for further information: www.vtac.edu.au
Mechanisms for recognition of VET in VCAL
Mandatory VET at Intermediate and Senior Industry Specific Skills Work Related Skills
• Credit is based on the completion of units or modules. One credit = 100 hours
• Can be within a VCE VET program or other VET/FE course or SBA
• Certificate I units can provide credit at Foundation and Intermediate

General Achievement Test (GAT)
Students whose only enrolment at Unit 3–4 is a scored VCE VET program are required to sit the GAT. Consistent with VCE Unit 3–4Quality assurance in checking that SATs,
SACs and exam have been accurately assessed
May be used in the calculation of the Derived Examination Score (DES)
GAT results reported on Student’s Statement of Results
Scored Assessment - Coursework
Based on a selection from four generic task types
Task types identified as most commonly used by RTOs
As a set, the tasks cover all units of competence or modules in the 3-4 sequence
Maximum flexibility of scheduling
Scored Assessment – Rules for task selection
Use at least two of the task types
Aim at an even spread across the units of competence or modules
Units of competence or modules can’t be split
Separate evidence for each task
Coursework component – summary of task design process
Batch or cluster the units for allocation
to THREE tasks
Select task types
Validate against scoring criteria for
each task type

Pre-apprenticeships
A pre-apprenticeship is a nationally recognised qualification that provides a reduction in the nominal duration of the apprenticeship training contract in the same industry area.
A pre-apprenticeship training program prepares the student for entry into an apprenticeship by equipping the student with foundation knowledge and skills.
Pre-apprenticeships continued
Currently there are a number of VCE VET programs that are OTTE endorsed pre-apprenticeships:
21560VIC Certificate II in Automotive Technology Studies
21566VIC Certificate II in Engineering Studies 21278VIC Certificate II in Furnishing
(Pre-apprenticeship-Cabinet Making) 21393VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction
