Eligibility reports for VET students
It is important for schools to run VCE, VCE VM and VCAL eligibility reports following the completion of their VET enrolments. Students at risk of not meeting the requirements of the VCE, VCE VM or VCAL should be identified early while there is still the opportunity to plan for additional VET to be undertaken over the remainder of the year. While it is important that schools run eligibility reports, please note that the VET eligibility report may be misleading. Schools should use the Student Full Details Report from VASS to identify the amount of credit students may receive from their VET enrolment.

For VCE VET Scored programs the moderation group is based on the assessing group.
The assessing group may be the RTO, the home school or another educational provider in the case of a school cluster group.
Home School: Where the VET curriculum and scored assessment is delivered at the school.
Another school/cluster Group: Where students attend another school/educational provider such as a school cluster group.
RTO: Where Students attend a TAFE / RTO for delivery of VET curriculum and scored assessment.
Please note where schools have fewer than 5 enrolments an agreement is formed to join another group for assessment.
