VCE VET programs are vocational training programs approved by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). VCE VET programs lead to nationally recognised qualifications, thereby offering students the opportunity to gain the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or the Victorian Certificate of Education Vocational Major (VCE VM), as well as a nationally portable vocational education and training (VET) certificate. VCE VET programs:
are fully recognised within the Units 1 to 4 structure of the VCE and the VCE VM. VCE VET units have equal status with other VCE studies
will contribute towards the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC)
function within the National Training Framework.
The sport or community recreation industry comprises the industry sectors of sport, fitness, community recreation and outdoor recreation. These sectors consist of not-for-profit organisations, government bodies and commercial enterprises that range in size from large companies to sole traders in personal training. It also intersects with several other sectors, particularly tourism, education and health. The industry provides a broad range of services to promote an active and healthy lifestyle. Job outcomes could include assistant coach, pool attendant, community activities officer, leisure services attendant, or sport and recreation attendant.
Qualifications / Packaging rules
Students wishing to be awarded the qualification must successfully complete all required core and elective units of competency. Schools should communicate with their registered training organisation (RTO) partner to ensure the delivery sequence supports this outcome.
The VCE VET Sport and Recreation program aims to:
provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and competency that will enhance their training and employment prospects in the sport or community recreation industry
enable participants to gain a recognised credential and to make an informed choice of vocation or career path.
The VCE VET Sport and Recreation program comprises three certificates II and one certificate III with VCE VET credit at Units 1 to 4 level, reflective of the size of the qualification. Certificates II are typically completed over one year, and certificates III are typically completed over two years.
The identified units of competency in the VCE VET Sport and Recreation program have been selected for recognition purposes and may vary from the qualification packaging rules.

Some VCE VET programs are scored and offer a scored Unit 3–4 sequence. The study score calculated from the scored Unit 3–4 sequence may contribute to a student’s ATAR as one of the primary four studies or as two available (and permissible) increments.
The scored Unit 3–4 sequence must be delivered and assessed in a single enrolment year. Students are strongly advised against undertaking the scored Unit 3–4 sequence without first completing Units 1 and 2 because Unit 3–4 sequences are not designed for standalone study.
