VET and SBAT

School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships.

Year 11 and 12 students may elect to undertake a School-based Apprenticeship and Traineeship (SBAT) program in their Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC).

SBAT is a vocational education and work training program in the senior secondary program. Students learn in a work environment and gain hands-on experience, skills and knowledge in an industry.

Within the SBAT program, students can complete a VET course to attain a nationally recognised qualification. This supports their pathway planning and can help them to jumpstart their career in a chosen industry.

SBAT and VET Programs.

We have a partnership with National Food Institute (inclusive of National Logistics Institute and National Horticulture Institute) to provide a wide range of SBAT and VET courses for our students.

They are:

Certificate II in Horticulture
Certificate II in Food Processing
Certificate III in Catering

There are other SBAT and VET courses available through National Food Institute.
