VET in Schools (VETiS)
Vocational education and training (VET) courses are available to students while they are still at school. This is often referred to as VETiS.
VET is learning which is directly related to work. Nationally recognised qualifications are developed by industry to give people the knowledge and skills they need to work in a particular job.
No cost for students eligible for VETiS Funding (see eligibility requirements for VETiS funding in the table below).
To be eligible for the Certificate 3 Guarantee students must:
- be 15 years or older
- be no longer at school (with the exception of school students in Years 10, 11 and 12 undertaking a VET in School (VETiS) program)
- permanently reside in Queensland
- be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident (including humanitarian entrants), temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency, or a New Zealand citizen; and
- not hold, and not be enrolled in Certificate III or higher-level qualification (does not include qualifications completed in secondary school). Students may already hold a Certificate III qualification in the Maritime industry not funded through the Certificate 3 Guarantee.
Please visit the Department of Education and Training Website and the Certificate 3 Guarantee fact sheet for further information about the eligibility criteria for the Certificate 3 Guarantee.
