Vocational Education and Training (VET) VCE AND VCE VM programs are vocational studies (career directed) approved by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) as appropriate for senior secondary school students. VET programs lead to nationally recognised qualifications, thereby offering students the opportunity to gain a VCE or VCE VM Certificate and nationally accredited Vocational Education and Training Units of Competencies upon completion of their secondary studies. VET programs are fully recognised within both our senior pathways programs, VCE and VCE VM, and contribute towards the satisfactory completion of VCE. Only Units 3/4 VET contribute towards VCE study score and not all VET studies have an attached score towards the ATAR. Non scored subjects will act as a 5th or 6th subject for a 10% weighting towards an ATAR. Nazareth College offers VET certificates to selected Year 10 to 12 students who know what they wish to pursue as a career and have shown the motivation and organisational skills to study in a more adult environment where initiative and independence are crucial to success.
Additional Costs for VET Courses Fees for VET in VCE and VET in VCE VM and LEAP courses are paid directly by the College to the provider, who bill the school based on the total number of students we have enrolled in their courses. Nazareth-run VET courses in VET Music and VET Dance do not incur addition tuition fees for parents. Note that the fees associated with all external Years 11 and 12 VCE VET courses, are calculated at 50% of the Tuition Fees invoiced by the VET provider (generally this cost to parents ranges from between $800 - $1200 per year but is course dependent). Parents are also responsible for reimbursing Nazareth Accounts the total Material Costs charged to the College by the VET providers. Materials Costs are course dependent, with some courses requiring expensive kits containing tools of the trade. An estimate of Material Costs will be invoiced in October 2022. This fee component must be received by the College by 20 November 2022 to secure the student's place in the VET course. VCE VM Students’ VET Tuition Fees form part of their general VCE VM School Fees. Materials costs, however, must be paid by parents via the Accounts Office by 18 November 2022. The remainder of the tuition fees for the VCE and VCE VM programs will be invoiced in February 2023. Normal payment arrangements will apply.
