Vocational Learning

Hamilton Secondary College (HSC) is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 0561) accredited to deliver nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications and courses.

Our courses offer valuable knowledge and skills applicable to various industries and students who complete vocational education and training (VET) can earn credits that count towards achieving the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). Certain VET courses also facilitate easier access to additional educational pathways, such as university programs.

VET enrolment process

All VET courses are applied for by the VET Coordinator on the student’s behalf via an online application system called VETRO (VET Readiness Orientation). Provided students meet entry requirements course fees are heavily subsidised by the State Government and are usually no more than $300 per qualification. A handful of courses will have a higher fee.

Ideally, applications are submitted in Term 3 and students are notified of their success in Term 4. It is a requirement of all “VETRO” courses that students complete a Language Literacy and Numeracy Assessment to ensure that students’ diverse needs are catered for. Individual training providers also have their own enrolment forms that will need to be completed and submitted as the enrolment process is finalised.

All students considering VET pathways must see Ms Arezina before subject selection evenings and all parental enquiries can be directed to Desanka Arezina: Desanka.arezina47@schools.sa.edu.au
