  • Employer-based study

    Employer-based courses normally have enrolments available at any time.

     

    Employer-based learning and assessment plans are created at an individual level in consultation with you and/or your employer.

     

    The flexibility of employer-based study mode also allows you to structure and undertake your learning and assessment in a way that fits into your professional and personal life.

     

    If you are interested in employer-based study, please contact our friendly team at VTS Training.

     

  • Skill sets

    Our skill sets are a type of short course that provides certification for specific workplace skills.

     

    Skill sets are made up of one or more units of competency which link to an industry need or regulatory requirement, such as a licence. When you complete a skill set, you will receive a statement of attainment. In some cases this may count towards a higher qualification with further study.

     

    Dates for upcoming skill sets are available on our website under the skill set you are interested in.

  • Apprenticeship Traineeship

    If you would like to undertake an apprenticeship or traineeship with Vocational Training Services, you need to contact the Department of Training and Workforce Development’s Apprenticeship Office.

     

    The Apprenticeship Office manages the apprenticeship and traineeship system in Western Australia and helps employers, apprentices and trainees through every stage of their course.

Qualifications/Study Modes (defined)

We are at our most effective when delivering meaningful training and development activities in a face-to-face setting.  While we use technology to augment and support our learning programs, an engaging, personal connection directly with our training staff is often cited by clients as a key success factor.

Our primary delivery mode for most of our courses is face-to-face training.  We feel this is appropriate, both for the course and content being delivered, as well as the needs of typical students or businesses we are servicing.

Our alternative education (job-ready) programs are typically delivered face-to-face in the classroom three days per week over 9-10 weeks.  Our other classroom programs vary in intensity and duration and are flexible to meet local needs.

Traineeships and apprenticeships delivery varies based on the qualification being studied but are typically delivered face-to-face in the workplace once per month.  Different students may require either more or less frequent visits, which can be managed when the trainer is locally based (rather than FIFO).

VTS provides its students with all learning resources such as Learner Guides, reference materials and case studies, learning activities, Assessment Tools, and Workshop Hand-outs. These are available in hard copy or electronically to suit the employee.  We also utilise some technology to aid the effectiveness of face-to-face learning.  This allows us to remove admin and non-value add activities from the training sessions, thereby maximising the impact of the time with the trainer.
