The Endeavour Vocational Education & Training (VET) Awards provide full financial support for up to 2.5 years for international students from participating countries to undertake vocational education at a Diploma or Advanced Diploma level in any field of study in Australia.
Vocational Education & Training provides occupational or work-related knowledge and skills.
The courses are traditionally non-academic and directly related to a trade, occupation or ‘vocation’ in which the applicant participates. These courses exclude degree and higher level programs normally delivered by universities. Applicants must be nominated by either their home organisation/institution or the host institution. The home or host organisation/institution may nominate up to 5 applicants.
English language training in Australia is also available when the English language proficiency requirements of the Australian host institution are not met.
