​​​​​Students of South East Region's Learning Centres have flexibility in their timetable and therefore may choose to  undertake additional opportunities of training suitable for their college timetable.

Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETis) and External Training

From 1 July 2014, each year 10, 11 or 12 student in Queensland may access ONE funded employment stream qualification while at school.  It is important that student carefully consider their choices when choosing external training as any additional training above the one funded qualification will incur a “fee for service”.
