Students undertake a work placement and participate in a VET program.

An Intermediate VCAL certificate can be gained at the end of the first year and a Senior VCAL certificate at the end of the second year.

Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Essendon Keilor College also partners with Registered Training Organisations to provide access to VET courses outside the school. This may incur some costs and the program must be approved by the principal.
