VET
| VET Automotive VET Automotive is offered over a two-year period in Years 11 and 12. It can also be an option for Year 10 students. This subject consists of a theoretical and a practical component which is delivered in our well equipped automotive workshop. Students practise hands-on skills that are relevant and useful for prospective employment. Not only does a student gain credits for his or her VCE certificate, but on successful completion of all four units, a Certificate Two in Automotive Technology will be awarded to that student. The course offered at Mount Erin is the same as that offered by TAFE at considerably less cost. Credits may also be given when students continue further studies in apprenticeships. Students use specially prepared workbooks to cover the required theoretical and practical tasks and attention is given to hands-on skills covering a comprehensive course of study including most aspects of the automotive trade. |
