VET Courses for International Students in Australia

VET (Vocational Education and Training) courses are accredited vocational training programs in Australia. They are ideal for students looking to specialise in their field or progress to further education.

VET Course Entry Requirements

Academic Requirements

Most VET courses in Australia require you to have completed high school level education (Australian Year 10, 11 or 12). Some programs may also require you to have taken specific courses, have work experience or submit a portfolio in areas such as design.

English Language Requirements

You must have a sufficient level of English to be eligible for VET courses. Most vocational training institutions will administer an online placement test prior to enrolment. However, some institutions, such as TAFE, will require you to have an academic IELTS or equivalent score of at least 6. If your English level is not sufficient, you can correct your deficiencies by taking a language preparation program beforehand.

Visa Requirements

In order to receive vocational training in Australia, you must apply for a Student Visa number 500 (Subclass 500). In order to be eligible for this visa, you must enroll in a CRICOS-registered course and receive a "Confirmation of Enrollment" (CoE). The visa can be applied for both from within Australia and from outside, and there is no age limit.

However, you must realistically explain your purpose of studying to the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
