FAQs to our Industry Liaison Office (ILO)
What is Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS)
VETiS is a learning pathway that Years 10, 11 and 12 students can undertake whilst completing senior secondary. These are funded or fee for service accredited courses; delivered by registered training providers (RTOs); provide
students with a nationally recognised qualification on completion; and, may provide credit towards your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).
How Can Students Participate in VET?
VET options for your individual pathways may include:
- VETiS funded Certificate I or II courses: (one time funded, pathways or industry introduction programs; approx.6-12 months duration depending on the qualification)
- VET fee for service Certificate III, IV or Diploma courses: (course fees payable to the RTO on enrolment; duration - approximately 12-24 months depending on the qualification)
- School-based Apprentice or Traineeships: (traditional trade or service oriented ‘earning and learning’ contracts; senior students combine individual school timetable with paid work and a Certificate III industry qualification linked to the industry or job)
What is a Unique Student Identifier (USI)
This is a national, individual, education identifier that your student has for life. It is a requirement to enrol in and
be issued qualifications by registered training organisations in Australia (including TAFE and universities). Click on
this link for information on how to create your USI.
