Our VET system provides training for students of all ages and backgrounds, with courses delivered in the classroom, at the workplace and online.

Established global partnerships

Victorian VET providers currently deliver skills training and work in partnership with governments and industry partners in India, China, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India, Philippines, Korea, Thailand and Indonesia.

Our VET providers also offer a range of training and consulting services to companies, governments and other educational institutions internationally, including:

  • training needs assessments
  • development and delivery of training
  • train the trainer
  • curriculum and standards development

Australia's robust accreditation systems ensure the skills and knowledge gained are valued worldwide.

Industry partners and students benefit from being taught by teaching teams of industry experts who either work in or have worked in the field they teach.

Impressive graduate outcomes

Outcomes for Victoria's vocational graduates are high and many programs run directly with industry through the apprenticeship and traineeship model.
