Qualifications

Enrolment status: current

The following curriculum qualifications are available as a VCE VET program:

21566VIC Certificate II in Engineering Studies

Pre-apprenticeships

A pre-apprenticeship is a nationally recognised qualification that has an automatic training and duration credit into the apprenticeship in the same industry area. A pre-apprenticeship training program prepares the student for entry into a trade based apprenticeship by equipping the student with foundation knowledge and skills.

Formal pre-apprenticeship arrangements have been approved by Skills Victoria (formerly OTTE) for 21566VIC Certificate II in Engineering Studies.

The following qualifications are available as a School Based Apprenticeship and Traineeship program:

MEM20105 Certificate II in Engineering
MEM20205 Certificate II in Engineering Production Technology

The codes for the Engineering Training Package have been modified. For advice on this, please contact the VCAA VET Unit, (03) 9651 4458.

Credit in the VCE

Students who complete either the 21566VIC Certificate II in Engineering Studies or the 21565VIC Certificate III in Engineering Studies are eligible for four units credit towards their VCE: two units at Units 1 and 2 and a Units 3 and 4 sequence. Students cannot receive credit for both programs.
