Opportunities in VET programs are prioritised by year level, with strict caps on class sized due to OH&S requirements. VET courses cannot be joined in progress or changed over between semesters. In most cases, a VET completion requires a two (2) year commitment.
Enrolment and completion of course does not guarantee receipt of certificate and qualification until all administrative procedures have been completed, all third-party units have been verified and all student work has been authenticated.
