What is the difference between VET Education and University?

University normally has a more academic focus and higher entry requirements, with 3-4 years of full-time study before students can earn their Bachelor Degree. VET or vocational education and training courses are focused on practical, job-specific skills. They can be completed in as little as 2-3 months (for entry level certificates). VET courses can include basic Cert I level qualifications, up to Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas.
