About VET curriculum requirements
- NESA’s VET courses are based on national Training Packages or accredited courses.
- VET courses for Stage 5 and Stage 6 must be delivered by a registered training organisation (RTO) that has the relevant qualification and units of competency on their scope of registration, and follow the course developed or endorsed by NESA.
- Schools retain overall responsibility for monitoring course delivery and for duty of care while students are participating in courses conducted by an RTO.
