You can commence an apprenticeship or traineeship while you are at school and receive credit towards your VCE or VCAL. Apprenticeships and raineeships give you the opportunity to combine part-time employment with your VET qualification.

Apprenticeships and traineeships combine practical hands-on experience in the workplace with training and assessment from a Registered Training Organisation.
School-based apprenticeship or traineeship (SBAT)
A school-based apprenticeship or traineeship is when you are released from school for a minimum of one day per week to undertake the apprenticeship or traineeship. You will need to complete six hours of training and seven hours of work per week.
Credit towards the VCE or VCAL
All apprenticeships and traineeships can provide credit towards your VCE or VCAL.

For every 90 hours of training completed, you will receive one unit towards your VCE or VCAL. VCE credit will be determined by the certificate. Most apprenticeships or traineeships in VCE VET program areas provide credit for VCE Units 1 to 4.
Some certificate II qualifications only provide credit towards the VCE at Units 1 and 2. Qualifications at certificate II and above provide credit towards all VCAL levels.
ATAR
When you receive a Units 3 and 4 sequence towards your VCE from an apprenticeship or traineeship, they may contribute towards the calculation of your ATAR by VTAC. Check with the VET coordinator at your school.
Qualification
You will receive a certificate or statement of attainment from your Registered Training Organisation for the VET training you have completed as part of your apprenticeship or traineeship.
