Course Funding
This program is a VET in School (VETiS) funded program so there is no cost to eligible students. What is VET in School (VETiS) funding?
The VET investment budget provides funding for students to complete one VETiS qualification listed on the Priority Skills List while attending a Queensland secondary school (in Years 10, 11 and 12). Qualifications are primarily at certificate I and II level and are those that have been identified by industry as leading to employment.
Prior to enrolment, TAFE Queensland Gold Coast checks all student eligibility for VETiS funding. If it is deemed that a student has previously used their VETiS funding they will be contacted and offered a position with the full fee for service price.
