What is VETiS?

Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Schools (VETiS) is a government initiative which gives you the chance to complete VCE or VCAL with additional vocational studies.

You'll study one of Swinburne's certificate level courses (in most cases a certificate II or III) and gain practical, hands-on skills while you're still at school.

Depending on the course, you could be studying on-campus at Swinburne, or at one of our partner schools.

The skills and qualification you gain through VETiS can count toward a further certificate, diploma or advanced diploma – providing pathway opportunities after secondary school.

From here, you can choose to continue through to university, making the most of our Guaranteed Entry Scheme.

How does VETiS work?

VETiS forms part of your VCE or VCAL studies and can lead directly into further TAFE qualifications.

There are a number of different options for how and where you will complete VETiS.

In most cases, schools are authorised to deliver and assess Swinburne courses, with school teachers working directly with Swinburne teaching staff.

Alternatively, you may study on-campus at Swinburne and attend TAFE classes throughout your school term.
