Vocational Education and Training (VET) - RTO 30399
Vocational education and training (VET) enables students to gain qualifications for all types of employment, and specific skills to help them in the workplace.
Student achievement in accredited vocational education qualifications is based on industry-endorsed competency standards and is recorded on the Senior Certificate. The Senior Certificate is recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), and this may give advanced standing towards a traineeship or apprenticeship and/or credit on entry to courses at TAFE Institutes and other registered training organisations.
VET Qualifications contribute to the Queensland Certificate of Education if the required standard is reached.

Unique student identifier
The USI (Unique Student Identifier) was introduced nationally on 1 January 2015 for all students studying VET qualifications. The school is not permitted to issue Statements of Attainment or Certificates unless students have a USI recorded with Mirani State High School. After students obtain a USI, they must provide the Head of Senior Schooling with the USI number.
Applications for USI numbers are included in Year 9 information packages which are distributed to students as part of the enrolment process for year 10.
