12. Students can choose to do either the automotive mechanics stream,
or auto-electric stream.
The course is 'hands on' with a focus on practical work and has great benefits for who wish to enter apprenticeships.
This
course is open to both VCE and VCAL students.
AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICS STREAM
Description: VET Automotive Certificate II gives pre-apprenticeship training
for the automotive industry and is aimed at making students work ready
or equipped for further study. When students complete the full year 12
requirements they will receive dual credits - both for VCE and VET units.
Whether you are interested in a motor industry career or just want to
learn about cars, you will enjoy this subject.
