Vocational courses in Australia, called VET (Vocational Education and Training), are training courses offered by accredited Australian educational bodies.
Vocational courses prepare learners for jobs that are based in manual or practical activities, traditionally non-academic and totally related to a specific trade, occupation or vocation.
For example, the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment prepares people from multiple industries such as hairdressing, nursing, firefighting, plumbing etc to become Trainers and Assessors of that same industry.
