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”.
Examples of opportunities that students of South East Region's Learning Centres (SERLC) may be interested in including in their timetable, either on or off SERLC campus include (but not limited to):
Certificate I Construction
Certificate II Automotive
Certificate II Electro Technology
Certificate II Horticulture
Certificate II Engineering
Certificate I Construction – Venue: Nerang
Certificate I Furnishing – Venue: Shailer Park
Certificate II Electro Technology – Venue: Nerang and Shailer Park
Certificate II Automotive Vocational Preparation – Venue: Nerang
Certificate II Engineering Pathways – Venue: Nerang
