The Likelihood of Completing a Government-Funded VET Program, 2010-14. Australian Vocational Education and Training Statistics
National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER)
The Australian vocational education and training (VET) system provides training across a wide range of subject areas and is delivered through a variety of training institutions and enterprises (including to apprentices and trainees). The system provides training for students of all ages and backgrounds. Students may study individual subjects or full programs that lead to formal program completions. This report estimates the completion rates of government-funded VET programs in Australia (broadly defined as all programs delivered by government providers and government-funded programs delivered by community and other registered providers), in order to fill a gap in performance measures for the VET sector. Program completion rates are contrasted with subject load pass rates, which express the weighted percentage of successfully completed subjects, in each table of this publication. Completion rates in this report are derived using the most recent data available from the National VET Provider Collection and are an update on the previous release, Australian vocational education and training statistics: the likelihood of completing a government-funded VET program 2009-13. Additional program completions reported to the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) since the previous release mean that figures for 2010-13 may vary slightly from those previously published.
