PBCA - Brisbane's Premier College

for VET (Vocational Education Training)

for high school students!

Jade, one of our successful VET graduates, now works for Issada Cosmetics, Brisbane.  Jade commenced VET from Grade 11 and then finished her Beauty Therapy qualification after grade 12 when she attended PBCA full time.  We are very proud of her achievements.

“My thanks to all involved with Jade last year...she grew in confidence, became very focused and independent as a result of your course. You have obviously the right people in your team to create such a result. Well done..”

The Australian Council of Education Research (ACER) has released a report on VET Pathways Taken by School Leavers. The report reveals that school leavers who participate in Vocational Education and Training (VET) are more likely to succeed in their careers, as they increase their employment prospects and earning power.

Credit points towards a Queensland Cerificate of Education (QCE) - in Queensland to be eligible for a QCE, a student must achieve 20 credits of learning.  Each subject undertaken at school counts towards the total amount of credits a student achieves. 

Credit points are allocated as follows for completing Beauty VET whilst at school:-
Certificate II level - 4 credit points
Certificate III level - 8 credit points
Certificate IV level - 8 credit points

NOTE:  All units required for the qualification level must be completed
