Vocational Education and Training Courses

Vocational Education and Training provides courses of study and/or practical training that develops the skills and knowledge that people need for employment. At MLC School students are able to combine V.E.T. sector courses such as Hospitality Operations with school sector courses and have them both recognised towards a final qualification such as the HSC and a UAI.
