VET industry specific courses are for students aiming to enter further training or the workforce straight from school.  These courses include a full AQF qualification, mandatory workplace learning and may contribute to the Certificate II requirement for WACE.

The School Curriculum and Standards Authority collaborated with schools and industry to develop ten Authority-developed VET industry specific courses which include training package qualifications at AQF level I, II and III in which competency electives may have been prescribed. The most current training packages have been used in their development. Current training packages can be found at http://training.gov.au/.
