Why VET Major at AIS?

Adelaide International School’s SACE VET Major combines secondary education with practical, industry-focused learning. Delivered in collaboration with Adelaide Institute of Business and Technology (AIBT), students develop practical skills while earning SACE credits and working towards a nationally recognised Certificate IV qualification.

The VET Major gives students more options after school. They can enter the workforce with practical skills and a vocational qualification or continue to Diploma programs, with pathways to higher education. It is an ideal choice for students who prefer hands-on learning and want to keep their study and career options open.
