VET

VET courses allow students to study for a nationally accredited vocational certificate, giving students practical learning opportunities in workplace or simulated settings.

There is sufficient flexibility to offer a broad range of teaching, learning and assessment styles in settings that require adult motivation and attitudes. VET is characterised by a high level of practical learning relating to the working environment.

At Mooroolbark College students have access to schools in the Yarra Valley VET Cluster as well as other TAFE providers.

The advantage of this arrangement is that students can stay enrolled in their original school while having access to a large range of vocational programs. This means students can study their VCE or VCE-VM in a familiar environment.

Students studying a VCE-VM certificate must complete VET studies

For a VCE student these certificates generally contribute four units towards their VCE. The contribution counts either as a study score or block credit in the calculation of the student’s ATAR.
