Technological and applied studies (TAS) and Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Technological and applied studies (TAS)

TAS is mandatory for all students in Year 7 and 8. Students can also select from a range of elective TAS subjects.

In TAS, students develop knowledge, understanding and skills through a design and production process using a range of tools, materials and techniques in theory and practical lessons.

The continuum of technology learning is:

• mandated from Kindergarten to Year 8 through Science and Technology K-6 and Technology Mandatory Years 7-8 syllabuses

• based on students becoming increasingly sophisticated in their ability to apply knowledge, skills and understanding to design and produce solutions

• optional for student specialisation in high school through a range of syllabuses addressing particular technologies and aspects of design.

Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Vocational Education and Training (VET) provides students with the workplace skills and technical knowledge required to meet both current and future employment demands.

In VET, students access nationally recognised qualifications — from Certificate I through Certificate IV, then to Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels. These qualifications can be delivered via standalone courses, or through apprenticeships and traineeships that allow students to learn in the workplace while in paid employment.
