VET in Schools (VETiS)
Your Central Hub
Schools employ a wide range of staff, many of which are in non teaching roles. With such a broad array of job roles it is difficult to know where to go when it comes to the training and development of school support staff. Not anymore!
Adapt Education has created a central hub where Principals, Deputy Principals, Business Service Managers and other school leaders can locate Nationally Recognised qualifications suited to their staff. Each qualification listed has been contextualised to better relate to the policies, procedures and systems found in a school environment.
The following qualifications are offered for school support staff (click on the qualification for more info):
- Certificate III in Education Support – Teacher Aide
- Certificate IV in Education Support – Teacher Aide (special needs)
- Certificate III in Business – Administration Officer
- Certificate IV in Business Administration – Administration Officer
- Certificate IV in Frontline Management – Team or Department leaders
- Diploma of Management – Business Services Manager
Funding
The financial cost of these courses may be offset by the many government incentives and programs that are available. Some funding is available to school based staff. The course outlines indicate whether a course is eligible for incentives. Funding/subsidies are currently being obtained through traineeships, Centrelink (Education Supplement), Certificate 3 Guarantee (Qld only) and the Higher Level Skills subsidy (Qld only). View the Government funding page on this site for more details and information on eligibility.
Payment
Payment plans are offered. Payment can be made by credit card, bank transfer, cheque, money order or cash. We may be able to meet special requests such as splitting bills over different financial years. Discounts may apply for group bookings, upfront payment by employers, or RPL.

Study Options
Please refer to the course outlines to view study options available for each qualification. Study options may include one of the following or a combination of the following:
- Online
- Correspondence
- Blended
- On-site
- Workshops
Course Duration
Generally study will be self paced*, meaning that participants can study when they like and are not locked into set assessment due dates. Participants can fast track their studies or take the maximum permitted time. Training Plans can be developed in consultation with employers to ensure that training goals can be achieved.* note: specific timeframes may apply where funding is being received.
RPL
Many school support staff have been working in their role for years without recognition of their skills in the form of a qualification. Having staff skills formally recognised can contribute to HR objectives and capability frameworks, reduced insurance premiums, reduced risk exposure and improved staff morale and performance. All qualifications listed on this page may be completed through an RPL or assessment only pathway.
Student Support
Participants have unlimited access to phone and email support with their trainer for any queries throughout the course. We can adjust our delivery or assessment methods for students with specific needs.
