Exclusions for VET courses

ACE 8015

Last Updated: 1 April 2019

Where there is significant overlap between a VET course and other VET or general education courses NESA has an exclusion between the courses. Exclusions are applied at a course stream or focus area level rather than at the unit of competency level.

Details of exclusions applying to VET courses are available from NESA’s website.
