Vocational Education & Training (VET) Overview 2026
| VET Courses are subject to minimum and maximum student applications and therefore places or course commencement cannot be guaranteed. Where minimum class numbers are not attained and a course does not commence, students may be able to apply at an alternate training provider offering the course. VET Courses and delivery locations listed below are indicative and subject to change. Training Providers may prioritise positions based on applicant year level. Students are encouraged to prepare alternate VET and subject preferences. If there is a course you are interested in that is not listed, please contact the VET office so we can help explore options that may be available (outside the Geelong region). |
