Think Uni is your only option? A Vocational Training course, a way to a rewarding career
Due to their focus on practical education with real-world skills and strong prospects for jobs even without a university degree, VET is a great way to get started in a career of your choice. But don’t take our word for it. In fact, if numbers are your thing, then according to National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) figures, 4.1million students had enrolled in a certificate, diploma or an advanced diploma course in Australia in 2018.

Where can VET take me?
Since VET institutions specialise in developing occupational skills and competencies for the workforce, you will gain a solid understanding of your chosen field while you pursue your career. With a wide array of industries to choose from, you are most likely to find a VET course that will match your interest or skill set. A VET Certificate IV (or higher) is also a pathway to most undergraduate courses if you wish to upskill and add a university degree to your kitty for career advancement at a later stage.

Where can I study a VET course?
When choosing between an RTO or a TAFE as your training provider, you should consider their past performance, their quality of training, mode of delivery, as well as their placement support after completion of their training. Each RTO or a TAFE has its own unique offering and it essentially comes down to what suits your needs best. According to NCVER figures from 2018, close to 2.9 million students undertook training with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and almost 7,77, 100 chose to undertake their training with a TAFE.
While VET courses are designed to develop workplace skills, build competencies, and provide specialised technical know-how and have helped people advance their careers, you might need a hand understanding the dynamism of a VET course ranging from the qualifications (Certificates I-IV and Diplomas) and for course duration ranging from six months to two years. You can give us a call and have chat with our expert education consultants for guidance to choose the right course for you.
With many professions on offer through VET courses, you might just be surprised with the opportunities available through private RTOs that can come your way. Just find your passion, do your research, and prepare to enter the workforce.
You can take on your chosen career with a VET qualification too.
