How VETDSS works
VETDSS can be done in two ways:
Most VETDSS programs take two years to complete and follow the Victorian school term dates, with students generally attending classes at a Melbourne Polytechnic campus one day per week.
VETDSS applies competency based assessment although some programs also have an externally set exam.
