If you are a secondary-school student in Year 11 or 12, you can study selected TAFE subjects that contribute to your HSC. These are called TAFE delivered vocational educational and training (TVET) HSC courses.

All TVET courses count as units towards your HSC and nationally accredited qualifications. Not only do TVET courses teach you skills that give you a head start in a career, but they can also be used as a foot in the door to further study at TAFE NSW or university. Some TVET courses such as accounting and other industry curriculum frameworks, including electrotechnology and hospitality, also count towards your UAI.

Please see the 2012 TVET courses guide for specific TVET courses offered at Sydney Institute. If you are having difficulty with the document please contact us.

TVET course information covering all TAFE NSW Institutes can be found at the TAFE NSW TVET courses web page.
