Study while at secondary school
A Career in Rail – Study VET while still at secondary school
Certificate II in Heavy and Light Rail Fundamentals (Pre-vocational) is a qualification for secondary students. The purpose of this VET course is to provide students with basic knowledge and a realistic preview of the heavy (train) and light (tram) rail industry in Victoria. Students are taught in a combination of structured learning, self-directed learning and hands-on training in a simulated work environment. This will enable students to make more informed choice about future employment within an area of the industry that best suits their interests, capabilities and career aspirations.

The program will expand into more schools in 2024, please get in touch with us to find out more. Your VET coordinator can submit an expression of interest to railcareers@levelcrossings.vic.gov.au.
