Vocational Education and Training
VCE VET Engineering
The current VCE VET Engineering program is drawn from the 22209VIC Certificate II in Engineering Studies, which will expire on 30 June 2018. The replacement qualification is the 22470VIC Certificate II in Engineering Studies, which is not equivalent to the 22209VIC certificate. Details of the 22470VIC certificate are available on the Department of Education and Training
VET accredited courses webpage.
Once the VCE VET Engineering program is approved by the VCAA Board, it will be published on the VCE VET webpage and schools will be notified through the
VCAA Bulletin.
The revised VCE VET program will be available to schools from 1 July 2018. All new enrolments must transition to the 22470VIC Certificate II in Engineering Studies by 2019. Schools with first year students enrolled in the 22209VIC certificate will be requested to move the enrolments to the 22470VIC certificate. Further advice on the transition process will be provided in future editions of the
VCAA Bulletin.
Schools should consult with their registered training organisation partners to ensure that the new qualification will be added to scope for delivery in 2018.
In order to assist with planning, Units 1 and 2 for the 22470VIC certificate are listed in the following table.
For students undertaking Units 3 and 4 in 2018, there is no change to the current program.
