  2. What is VET? VET stands for Vocational Education & Training. Students have the opportunity of gaining nationally recognised accreditation in industry standard competencies. Eg.: Certificate I in Hospitality Certificate II in Live Production, Theatre & Events Certificate II in Visual Arts Certificate I in General Construction Certificate II in Business

  3. A variety of VET courses are offered through GIHS. • Courses offered at Glenunga IHS: • IT Essentials, Advertising & Graphic Design, Digital Media • Other courses are run at different schools or training sites within the region. This may mean students need to travel to another learning site as part of their studies.

  4. What are the benefits of students undertaking VET courses? developing practical work-related skills that will make them more employable gaining an understanding of the world of work gaining a taste of an industry before they commit to working in that industry getting a head start in a pathway they want to do when they leave school, before they actually leave school

  5. Benefits (continued) gaining dual accreditation, as VET achievements can also count towards the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) in some cases, contributing towards the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) required for entrance to university, ensuring their options and pathways remain open.

  6. Can I still go to UNI if I do VET? Most VET studies automatically contribute to a students Year 11 SACE pattern. So, students can study VET in Year 11, and still choose 4 University Entrance Subjects in Year 12. Alternatively, most completed Certificate III will contribute towards the ATAR score at Year 12.

  7. VET courses are: Included as part of a flexible timetable and can replace a SACE subject for a semester or a year. ie. You can choose to study a VET course in place of a subject at school.

  8. Will VET overload their studies? Students will be out for a block amount of time but will have extra supervised study throughout the rest of the week to catch up any school work that might be missed. Subject teachers in classes that are missed will also be more flexible with deadlines.

  9. Course costs • Consumables Payment (non-refundable) = 20% • Course Deposit (refundable)* = 40%. *Course deposit is refundable upon successful completion of ALL competencies. Example: Hospitality Operations – Certificate II (Heathfield High School) • Course cost $835 • Consumables Payment $167 (20% of $835) • Course deposit $334 (40% of $835)
