22632VIC – Certificate II in Engineering

Duration: Two Years

Training Location: Geelong Industry Trade Training Centre (GITTC) and The Gordon (East Campus)

VCE Contribution: Scored Assessed

The VCE VET Program in Certificate II in Engineering aims to instill positive perceptions of the engineering related industries by introducing young people to the wide range of employment opportunities, career choices and study pathways to further training in the engineering, manufacturing and related industries.

Recognition within the VCE and VCE VM

This course contributes towards VCE and VCE VM.

Scored assessment is available for VCE VET Engineering Studies. Scored assessment is based on the Scored Units 3 and 4 sequence of VCE VET Engineering Studies. Students wishing to receive an ATAR contribution for the VCE VET Engineering Studies program Units 3 and 4 sequence must undertake scored assessment for the purpose of achieving a study score.  This consists of three coursework tasks, worth 66% of the overall study score, and an end-of-year examination which is worth 34% of the overall study score.

This study score can contribute directly to the ATAR, either as one of the student’s best four studies (the primary four) or as a fifth or sixth study increment.

Where a student elects not to receive a study score no contribution to the ATAR will be available.
