For the VCE VET Business program, the identified sets of competencies have been grouped to form Units 1 and 2 and a Units 3 and 4 sequence for recognition purposes. The recognition status of VCE VET programs and the requirements of assessment for study score purposes are outlined in this extract.

Program durationThe VCE VET Business program has a minimum nominal hour duration of:

Program Qualification Nominal hours

Program 1 BSB20115 Certificate II in Business 240

Program 2 BSB30115 Certificate III in Business 195

This program may be completed over two or three years. To access a study score, the scored Units 3 and 4 sequence in Program 2 must be delivered and assessed in a single enrolment year.

The nominal hours attached to each unit of competency are calculated by the Victorian Department of Education and Training, as an indicator of the training time required to become competent. They are a guide only, and the actual duration of the training is affected by students’ readiness to be assessed for the particular unit of competency.

It is important to note that the allocation of nominal hours for each unit of competency is intended to cover both delivery and assessment.

SequenceA range of delivery sequences is possible; however, the selected delivery schedule should take into account the linkages between the units of competency.

Study scoreFrom 2016, a study score will be available for the revised VCE VET Business program. To be eligible for a study score students must:

satisfactorily achieve all the units of competency designated as the scored Units 3 and 4 sequence

be assessed in accordance with the tools and procedures specified in the VCE VET Assessment Guide. The VCE VET Business program assessment plans and examinations specifications and advice will be published on the VCE VET Business program page in February 2016: <www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vet/programs/business/business.aspx>.

Undertake a written examination in the end-of-year examination period based on the compulsory units of competency in the Units 3 and 4 sequence.

DuplicationVCE VET units may only make the maximum available contribution towards satisfactory completion of the VCE if no significant duplication exists between the VCE VET program and VCE studies or another VCE VET certificate in a student’s program. Where significant duplication does exist, students may enrol in the VCE VET program and the VCE studies or other VET certificates identified, but a reduced VCE VET unit entitlement will then apply.

No significant duplication has been identified between the VCE VET Business program and the VCE VET Small Business program or VCE Business Management study.
