This publication from NCVER provides a snapshot of Australia's publicly funded vocational education and training (VET) sector for 2005. It includes information about students and participation, courses and qualifications, module/unit of competency enrolments, and hours of delivery for each state and territory.
The latest annual training activity statistics for Australia's publicly funded vocational education and training (VET) system reveal that 1.64 million students undertook publicly funded training in 2005, an increase of 2.9% compared with 2004. Vocational education and training continues to be a popular choice for young people (those aged between 15 and 19 years). In 2005, students in this age group increased by 4.5%, to 374 200. A profile of student enrolments shows: 40% of students were aged 24 years or less; 51.6% of students were male; and 89.4% of students studied part-time. About half of all students were enrolled in an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) certificate III qualification or higher. Further information relating to students, courses, qualifications, training providers and funding is available from this publication and from detailed web tables, which can be accessed from the link below.
