How Does VETiS Work in Australian Secondary Schools?

VETiS programs are delivered in partnership between a school and an RTO. The RTO holds the nationally recognised scope of registration that allows it to issue qualifications, while the school provides the physical environment, the students, and often the day-to-day facilitation of learning.

There are two primary delivery models used in Australian schools:

Third Party Agreement (TPA) Model

Under a Third Party Agreement, the RTO retains full responsibility for the training and assessment while partnering with the school to deliver the program on-site. The school's staff may facilitate day-to-day learning activities, but all assessment, marking, compliance, and qualification issuance is managed by the RTO.

This model is well suited to schools that want to offer VETiS qualifications without taking on the compliance burden themselves. It is also the model most commonly used for Skills Assure Supplier (SAS) funded programs in Queensland.

Service Level Agreement (SLA) Model

Under a Service Level Agreement, the school takes on a more active role in training delivery, with the RTO providing oversight, assessment support, and compliance management. This model gives schools greater control over how the program is run while still benefiting from the RTO's registration and expertise.

Blueprint Career Development operates under both models. Our Third Party Agreement model is the most popular choice for Queensland schools accessing Skills Assure Supplier (SAS) funding, as it removes administrative burden from school staff while ensuring full compliance.
