Late amendments to VET results on VASS
Students may have the opportunity to undertake additional classes around or after November 13 to complete practical assessments deferred from earlier this year. This may be VET delivered at a school, at an RTO, or as part of an apprenticeship or traineeship. Where a student achieves competency after the November 13 VASS results cut-off date, schools can apply to the VCAA for an amendment to the student’s VET results. This may subsequently lead to the satisfactory completion of their VCE or VCE VM certificate.
Please apply through VASS: Results Admin > VET Reports > Amendment.
