Information for students, parents and caregivers

To broaden the range of VET courses available to school students the NSW Government has approved a panel of quality Registered Training Organisations to deliver a wide range of NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) endorsed VET courses.

All courses can contribute to the Record of Student Achievement (RoSA) or the HSC, as well as lead to the award of a nationally recognised VET qualification.

Stage 5

Stage 5 VET courses are designed for students in Years 9 and 10 and introduce them to the culture and work practices in a range of trade and services related industries.

Stage 6

Stage 6 VET courses are designed for students in Years 11 and 12. These courses develop the skills and knowledge leading students toward a successful transition from school to employment or further education and training. In some cases, these courses may lead to direct entry in a related university course.

Students should talk to their school regarding the courses available to them. Expressions of interest for an EVET course must be made through a student’s school.

EVET course funding arrangements

Places in NESA VET courses delivered under the EVET program are purchased by the school sector/school to provide students with a broader range of elective courses.

Each school sector/school pays the same price for the same NESA VET course irrelevant of which EVET approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO) delivers the course.

Information for course providers

Approval for course delivery is subject to a procurement process and is currently closed.

Inquiries

Students and parents should talk to their local school about the Externally delivered VET courses available and any course costs or fees charged by the school.
