Lilydale High School offers VET courses through the Yarra Valley VET Cluster and local Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). VET subjects may involve up to one full day per week of study off campus, extended hours, or occasionally holiday classes. Most VET classes run on Wednesdays, at various locations in the Yarra Valley and surrounding areas. Students are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from these training sites each week.

Benefits for students
Students who complete recognised VET qualifications within the VCE receive a nationally recognised training credential issued under the Australian Recognition Framework (ARF). The selection of a VCE VET subject constitutes one of the students’ five VCE subjects.
Students will attend the home school for their VCE program but may attend any of the above schools for the VET courses except, Acting and Animal Studies which will be conducted at Lilydale High School.
Important Considerations for students
- VET is a two-year commitment and cannot be added later.
- All costs related to transport, excursions, uniform (if applicable) or personal protective clothing (if applicable) are the responsibility of the student.
- Students are encouraged to speak to the VET Co-ordinator early to discuss options and secure a place.
- VET is a valuable option for students who are motivated, hands-on learners looking for practical skills and a head start on their future career.
- 100% attendance is required in all VET subjects.
