Vocational Education and Training (VET) plays an important role at Western Cape College. We aim to assist students to successfully transition from school to further education, training and employment. VET qualifications are recognised nationally and are industry endorsed. VET courses combine relevant knowledge and practical skills that reflect current industry standards. As a Registered Training Organisation, Western Cape College delivers a range of nationally recognised training packages at Certificate I, II, III and Diploma levels. In addition, students are also able to obtain VET qualifications offered by external RTO’s.
School-Based VET programs offered at Western Cape College include:
- AUR20720 - Certificate II in Automotive Vocational Preparation
- CPC20220 - Certificate II in Construction Pathways
- MEM20422 - Certificate II in Engineering Pathways
- CUA31115 - Certificate III in Visual Arts
Third Party Courses

A Language, Literacy
and Numeracy (LLN) Screening process is undertaken at the time of initial
enrolment (or earlier) to ensure students have the capacity to effectively
engage with the content and to identify support measures as required. This
document is to be read in conjunction with Binnacle Training’s Program
Disclosure Statement (PDS). The PDS sets out the services and training products
Binnacle Training as RTO provides and those services carried out by the school

Work Experience
Senior students at Western Cape College are eligible to participate in work experience. Work experience is the short-term placement of secondary school students with employers to provide insights into their chosen career. It provides students with the valuable opportunity to develop employability skills, explore possible career options, understand employer expectations and increase their self-understanding, maturity, independence and self-confidence.
School Based Traineeships and Apprenticeships
Students in Years 11 and 12 are offered opportunities to become School Based Apprentices/Trainees (SATs). SATs are proving to be a valuable way for students to start their career by combining school with work and training (at Certificate II or III level).
