VET

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Why participate in Vocational Education and Training (VET)?

VET courses develop your skills and get you ready for work through practical learning. VET can also lead to further education and training. VET courses range from Certificate I qualifications to Advanced Diplomas.

When you study V​​​ET, you can leave school with:

• a statement of attainment (when you complete one or more units)​
• qualification/s and a record of results (when you meet all requirements).

VET courses may contribute up to​​ 8 credits per course towards your QCE.

One VET course at Certificate II​I level or higher, when combined with four General subjects, may also contribute to your ATAR.

If you're interested in studying VET, talk to the HOD Global & Vocational Learning at Springfield Central SHS. 

USI​

All students completing a VET Co​​use require a Unique Student Identifier (USI). 

What is a USI?​

The USI is a reference number made up of ten numbers and letters that:

• creates a secure online record of your recognised training and qualifications gained in Australia, from all training providers you undertake recognised training with
  

• will give you access to your training records and transcripts
• can be accessed online, anytime and anywhere
• is free and easy to create and stays with you for life.​
  

USIs are genera​​ted on the www.USI.gov.au website.  Students will require Identification to complete the process e.g. Medicare card or birth certificate.
