Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VET unit?
A VET unit is a single subject or module from a nationally recognised Certificate or Diploma. You can study just one unit to learn a specific skill. Explore VET unit courses.
Do I need to enrol in a full qualification?
No. You can take standalone units and receive a Statement of Attainment for each one you complete. These can also count towards a full course if you continue later. Learn more at training.gov.au.
Can a VET unit help me get a job?
Yes—especially if it’s part of a skill set in demand. Some employers require completion of one or two specific VET units for licensing or entry-level roles.
Are VET units online?
Yes. Many VET units are offered online or as blended learning. Browse online VET options.
What do I get when I finish a unit?
You’ll get a Statement of Attainment from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). It’s recognised across Australia. See more at MySkills.gov.au.
