Partnering with Sutherland Training

​Partnering with Sutherland Training is a simple and supportive process designed to make VET delivery easy for schools. We begin by completing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which outlines responsibilities, communication expectations and delivery arrangements. Once the MOU is in place, schools receive access to customised enrolment forms, course guides and ongoing administrative support. Our team works closely with VET coordinators to ensure smooth onboarding, clear reporting and a positive experience for every student.

​We currently partner with a growing number of South Australian secondary schools to deliver flexible, supported VET courses for students in Years 10–12.

South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE)
