Vocational Education and Training (VET) refers to the national vocational qualifications that are endorsed by industry.
Trainers of VET courses deliver units of competence from nationally recognised training packages. VET courses allow Years 10 – 12 students to:
- personalise their learning pathways
- develop and practice business specific skills
- work towards attaining nationally accredited certification
- work towards achieving their SACE through diverse and rigorous learning experiences.
VET units can be integrated into selected Year 10 subjects at Adelaide High School (in some Language courses, Outdoor Education and ICT). However, there is a fee to be paid by families for the training that is completed as a separate pathway. The cost depends on the course chosen and may vary or increase from year to year. Purchased VET courses only run if there are sufficient numbers. Some courses are only offered in Semester 1, whilst others run only in Semester 2. However, most usually run in both semesters and there are full year training options as well. Some VET courses require students to complete Structured Work Placements as part of the requirements. Given that VET courses allow students to gain SACE accreditation either at Stage 1 or 2 level, with parent / carer approval, students can either complete a VET course in lieu of a school based subject, or in addition to the full load of school subjects.
INAP VET Program
Years 10 – 12 Adelaide High School students are able to access purchased VET courses through a range of providers. Our main provider is INAP Training and Development Provider, of which we are a proud founding member. It brokers offers a broad range of off-line and off-campus courses. For the current list of courses on offer, please visit www.inap.org.au or find out from the school’s VET and Enterprise Coordinator. INAP accepts payment for these courses.
Certificate I Hospitality (Kitchen Operations) is delivered on campus off-line in Semester 1 once each year, in collaboration with SITE Academy. It is offered elsewhere in Semester 2. All other purchased VET options are held off-line and off-campus. We can accept payment for this course at school.
EASC VET Program
Years 10 – 12 Adelaide High School students can also access VET courses offered by the Eastern Adelaide Schools Cluster, comprising 19 schools across all sectors and a range of training partners. These courses compliment student interests, school specialisations, regional and national skill shortage areas and experiences which lead to the development of transferable skills. Most of the EASC VET courses occur on a regular training day and are held off campus. They have been grouped into industry fields. Payment can be made at school for these courses.
