Vocational Ed & Training
In Western Australia, Vocational Education and Training (VET) is designed to help students as they transition to a broad range of post school options and pathways, including apprenticeships and traineeships.
Students who complete the requirements of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) are issued with either a full certificate qualification or a statement of attainment for individual Units of Competency by a Registered Training Organisation. This achievement is also used as credit towards their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). We offer a variety of ways our Year 11 and 12 students can obtain a vocational qualification while still at school. This can give students an advantage when applying for jobs and competitive courses at State Training Providers.

Profile Programs (1 day per week)
Students are responsible for travelling to specific State Training Provider campuses to participate in a wide range of industry area certificates. These qualifications can range from a Certificate II to III and have a minimal cost associated with them. These are generally delivered over one year, however some courses are delivered over 2 years. Students are now able to access 2 profile courses over years 10,11 and 12.
