How it works
If you choose VET, this is what the whole process looks like: five stages, from choosing a qualification to holding one.
Stage
01
Choose a VET qualification
Select from Certificate III, Certificate IV or Diploma qualifications, depending on the area you want to work in and how far you want to take it.
Stage
02
Learn through competency
You work through Units of Competency. Each one is a defined skill or area of knowledge that makes up part of the qualification.
Stage
03
Complete assessment
Assessment is built around evidence of what you can do. In the Diploma of Business, for example, that means team-based projects, simulated management meetings, presentations, recorded role plays and case studies.
Stage
04
Demonstrate competency
Competent
You have met the requirements of the unit.
Not Yet Competent
Keep learning, practising and trying again. This is a step, not a fail.
Stage
05
Receive your qualification
