VCE VET Equine Studies
The current VCE VET Equine program is drawn from the 22246VIC Certificate II in Equine Studies, which will expire on 31 December 2019. The replacement qualification is the 22513VIC Certificate III in Equine Studies, which is not equivalent to the 22246VIC Certificate II in Equine Studies. A revised VCE VET Equine program is being developed and will be available in 2020. The program will be drawn from 22513VIC Certificate III in Equine Studies. Further advice on the revised program and the transition process will be provided in future editions of the
VCAA Bulletin.
Details of the new 22513VIC certificate are available on the
Department of Education and Training VET Accredited Courses webpage.
Get VET posters arriving in schools
This month, the VCAA VET Unit is sending a collection of Get VET posters to all secondary schools in Victoria. These posters will create a visual impact in schools, engaging students, teachers and parents and guardians with information about the wide range of available VET programs and how they can support a student's career exploration and pathway.
The posters will arrive in time for Education Week 2019, allowing schools to use this opportunity to showcase the valuable contribution that VET can make towards a student's senior secondary certificate and career goals.
Refer to Notice to Schools 35/2019.
VCE VET Scored Assessment Reform project update
The VCAA conducted a workshop in March with 30 schools, registered training organisations (RTOs) and State Reviewers involved in the review of Scored Assessment. The review of Task Types such as Work Performance, Portfolio, Work Project and Product, aims to ensure better assessment outcomes for students and better usage of Task Types by teachers and trainers across all VCE VET scored programs. Currently pilot schools and RTOs are trialling the draft assessment tools and providing feedback regarding the process. Further updates about the project will be provided in future editions of the
VCAA Bulletin.
