Vocational Education and Training, or VET, is education and training for work and is part of an educational network that includes Australian schools, universities and adult and community education. Work-based qualifications and academic qualifications are part of a single system. Vocational qualifications are industry-based, with specific units of competency required for industry qualifications.

Designed as an industry-led system where employers, unions and professional associations of an industry define the outcomes that are required from training, the Australian VET system is jointly-managed by state, territory and Australian governments, in partnership with industry and training providers.

Elements of the VET system: The Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) is a set of nationally agreed standards that ensure high quality VET services throughout Australia. Only Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) can issue the nationally recognised Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications and deliver training and assessment services. Heatherton Christian College subscribes to an RTO in delivering VET courses. For Horticulture, our RTO is Holmesglen TAFE.

National recognition is the cornerstone of the AQTF. All states and territories must recognise RTOs registered by other states and territories and all RTOs must recognise AQF qualifications and statements of attainment issued by other RTOs.

VET qualifications range from Certificate I to Diploma level. At secondary school level, we offer Certificates II & III (in part). Students wishing to continue a career pathway may jump to Cert IV or Diploma level after leaving school. At Certificate II level in Horticulture/Permaculture, students obtain a block credit towards their VCE studies. This means a 10% increment of the their top 4 subjects towards their final ATAR score.

Qualifications provide a career pathway to advancement in the industry.
