Structured workplace learning recognition
The VCAA provides recognition for Structured Workplace Learning for students undertaking VCE VET programs.
2023 Workplace Learning Record booklets for VCE VET Health are under construction.
Note: The HLT Training Package stipulates Mandatory Workplace Requirements (MWR) to achieve some of the qualifications and some of the units of competency available in the VCE VET Health program. Please refer to the information published in the HLT Training Package.
ATAR contribution
Students wishing to receive an ATAR contribution for the VCE VET Health program Units 3 and 4 sequence must undertake scored assessment for the purpose of achieving a study score. This study score can contribute directly to the ATAR, either as one of the student's best four studies (the primary four) or as a fifth or sixth study increment.
Where a student elects not to receive a study score for a Scored VCE VET Units 3 and 4 sequence no contribution to the ATAR will be available.
Where an additional Non-Scored VCE VET Units 3 and 4 sequence is undertaken students may be eligible for a fifth or sixth study increment.
The increment is awarded by the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC). Further information can be found on the VTAC website:
Where a Scored VCE VET Units 3 and 4 sequence is used as an increment, the increment will be calculated using 10% of the scaled score.
Where an additional Non-Scored VCE VET Units 3 and 4 sequence is used as an increment, the increment will be calculated using 10% of the fourth study score of the primary four.
