VET System

Vocational education and training (VET) is 'education and training for work' and part of a broader educational network in Australia that includes schools, universities and adult and community education.

The Australian VET system is:

• Industry-led: The employers, unions, professional associations and other key industry stakeholders define the outcomes that are required from training;

• National: The VET system is jointly-managed by the Australian, state and territory governments, in partnership with industry and training providers;

• Client focused: The VET system is responsive to the needs of its clients - the employers and individuals who use it, or intend to use it.

Fundamental elements of the VET system

• A quality framework: The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) defines all nationally recognised qualifications. The Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) is a set of nationally agreed standards that ensure high quality VET services throughout Australia.

• Registered Training Organisations (RTOs): Training organisations must meet AQTF standards to become registered by a Registering Body. Only RTOs can issue AQF qualifications and deliver training and assessment services.

• National Recognition: National recognition is the cornerstone of the AQTF. All states and territories must recognise RTOs registered by other states and territories and all RTOs must recognise AQF qualifications and statements of attainment issued by other RTOs. This national recognition of RTOs and qualifications enhances mobility in the labour market. (The National Training Information System (NTIS) is the national register of RTOs and endorsed industry Training Packages.)
