VET COURSES
CERTIFICATES II OR CERTIFICATE III
Certificate II is an introductory level qualification and prepares students to perform mainly routine work
Certificate III can help students learn skills for a particular career by teaching job specific skills.
Both certificates are a great start to study further, seek apprenticeships or search for a job. After secondary school some students support themselves and work while studying using the skills they learnt within their VET program
FULL CERTIFICATE COMPLETIONS & STATEMENT OF ATTAINMENT
If all work is submitted and marked as satisfactory the student is competent and will receive a certificate from the training provider/ RTO. In addition, the student will receive a statement of attainment from the training provider which is a list of the units of competency (subjects) the student has satisfactorily completed.
If a student does not satisfactorily complete all units in a full certificate program, they will only receive a statement of attainment.
PARTIAL CERTIFICATE COMPLETION & STATEMENT OF ATTAINMENT
Some programs are offered as partial completions because there is not enough time to learn all the units required for a full certificate whilst a student is still enrolled in a secondary school setting
Students will receive a statement of attainment from the training provider which lists all the units of competency (subjects) that the student has satisfactory completed It may be possible after secondary schooling years for students to continue studying with their training provider to complete their certificate, as an independent fee-paying student.
