Over the coming weeks around 150 000 Australian students will be asked about their recent experience at a TAFE institute, private training provider, or adult and community education provider.
Managed by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), the annual Student Outcomes Survey provides information on vocational education and training (VET) students’ employment outcomes and satisfaction with their training.
Mr Rod Camm, Managing Director, NCVER, said that this year for the first time, students will be surveyed at a course level.
“It’s essential for students to have their say because this is the major survey for rating Australia’s training system, with the results used to improve the sector for future students” said Mr Camm.
Students who complete the survey will also get the chance to win a share of a $13 000 cash prize pool.
The Student Outcomes Survey is conducted on behalf of the Australian, state and territory governments. Results from this survey will be available on NCVER’s portal in late 2014.
Copies of the 2013 survey results are available from www.ncver.edu.au/publications/2677.html
