Coursework Audits for 2021

Results and feedback from 2021 VCE VET Coursework Audits will be sent to principals and managers of the Assessing Group of the VCE VET program and RTO partners in early March. Teachers of VCE VET programs in schools/assessing groups that were audited should make sure they receive the outcome of their audit from their principal or manager. If audit results indicate that improvement in task design is required, teachers should attend the relevant VCE VET Scored Assessment webinar to be held in March 2022.

Structured Workplace Learning

It is critical that schools refer to the current Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) guidelines. Students undertaking SWL who wish to access SWL Recognition should refer to the SWL Recognition page.

It is particularly important for schools engaged in VCE VET Health and Community Services programs to refer to the updated information.

Unit 3–4 sequences in transitioning qualifications

VCE students who have transitioned into a new qualification for their second year of a program should consolidate their enrolment into a single certificate on VASS, to ensure they are accruing a Units 3–4 sequence. Transition advice for VCE VET programs can be found on the VCE VET Programs page. Schools should ensure once enrolments are finalised that students are accruing the expected amount of credit towards their VCE.
