If you already have an intermediate level of English and are thinking of applying for a visa to study in Australia, VET courses are the perfect option for you. They are usually cheaper than English courses and leave you more time to work.
Keep reading because you are about to find out everything you need to know about the most requested vocational courses by our international students in Australia. Are you ready?
VET (Vocational Education Training) courses are vocational courses with a technical and practical approach. They are similar to the Vocational Training (FP) courses carried out in other European or Latin American countries.
VET courses are top-rated in Australia. To the surprise of many, Australians themselves demand these types of courses more than university degrees. And best of all, VET qualifications are recognized worldwide.
These courses are focused on promoting incorporation into actual job positions. That is why they include a high practical component in their academic programs. In other words, they teach you to function in a job related to the theme of the VET course you choose.
VET courses are a perfect complement to a university education or previous work experience. In many cases, they also serve as a bridge to university studies in Australia.
Vocational courses in Australia are one of the most requested study options by international students. Nevertheless, an intermediate level of English is required to enrol in VET courses.
But do not spread panic!; Many English academies have agreements with the institutions that offer VET courses. Therefore, if you still don´t meet the English level requirement, you can combine an English course with a VET in the same academic planning and apply for a student visa for both courses.
Contact us and a Dingoos Guide will assist you.
These are the requirements that you will need to meet to be accepted into a VET course in Australia:
First things first: we will help you 100% with all the necessary procedures to come to Australia to study a VET course. And that includes, of course, helping you decide on the best option based on your goals and preferences.
To warm up the engines until we start working on your academic planning, write down these factors that we will take into account when choosing your ideal VET course:
VET course schedules are usually quite flexible (sometimes just one or two days of class per week). Schools understand that most students combine their studies with work.
The prices are pretty variable, although it is normal for the fees to be between $4,000 and $20,000 AUD per course. It will depend on the studies you choose, the quality of the school, the city where you decide to study and the type of qualification for which the course prepares you.
There are a lot of different VET courses on various topics, for example, related to business and marketing, education, hospitality and tourism, graphic design, languages, sports, among many others.
If you have doubts about what you would like to study, contact us and we will find a school that offers the ideal course for you. Remember that you will always have the opportunity to ask your Dingoos Guide: a specialist in the subject who will show you all your possibilities and help you find the key to choosing the course that bears your name.
One of the advantages of the VET courses is that you can improve your training step by step. This means that you will obtain certificates and diplomas that will allow you to access the labour market while continuing your studies. Who knows if you will end up applying for a permanent resident visa in the future.
On the other hand, it is convenient to know that there is a validation system (both for studies and work experience) that may save you some time to complete your courses. Ask us about this, and we will help you with whatever you need.
The TAFE courses and the VET courses have technical and practical learning approaches, but it´s better to know the differences between each type of course.
The primary difference is that TAFE courses are offered by a public education institution in Australia (TAFE). But that´s only the tip of the iceberg; you will also find differences such as:
