Things to know about studying VET subjects at HPSHS:

• VET subjects are designed to train students in skills and knowledge required for the workplace. Therefore, the lessons will replicate the workplace environment as closely as possible and students will be expected to conduct themselves as they would in a workplace, i.e. by being prompt, following instructions, keeping work organised, communicating with colleagues (fellow students) and supervisors (the teacher).

• All VET qualifications are made up of Units of competency – students need to achieve all of the units of competency to be awarded the Qualification.

• If a student doesn’t achieve competency in all of the units, they will receive a Statement of Attainment showing the units they have achieved.

• Some units of competency are found in more than one qualification. If a student is studying or has already finished qualifications that have common units, they will be awarded credit for these units BUT this may impact accumulation of QCE credit.

• Some Applied subjects and VET qualifications that have similar content are considered by the QCAA as “duplication of learning”. E.g. Information and Communication Technology and Certificate II in Applied Digital Technologies*. This means that if you do both subjects, you can only earn QCE credit for one of them. A full list of Applied subjects and VET qualifications considered to be duplicated learning can be found here: https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/senior/certificates-and-qualifications/qce-qcia-handbook/2-qce/2.3-additional-vet-qce-credit-rules.

• To study a VET qualification, students must have a Unique Student Identifier (USI), which creates an online record of an individual’s Australian training achievements, accessible for their lifetime…
