What does VET mean?
VET stands for Vocational Education and Training. There are four systems of education in Australia: the secondary system (school), the English language intensive courses for overseas students system (ELICOS), the vocational education and training system (VET), and the higher education system (tertiary). If an academic institute is not a school and not a university then, if it is a registered training organisation, it comes under the VET system. If it is not a school, not an ELICOS provider, not a university, and not a registered training organisation, then it is simply referred to as a private education and training provider (private) or a community provider (public).
