This report provides a summary of the outcomes and satisfaction of students who undertook nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) delivered by registered training organisations (RTOs) in Australia during 2024. 

The report presents findings from four student groups.

1. Qualification completers: who undertook and successfully completed a qualification.
2. Qualification part-completers: who completed part of but not the full qualification.
3. Short course students: who undertook a training package skill set or accredited course.
4. Subject(s) only completers: who completed one or more subjects not delivered as part of a nationally recognised program.

Key findings

• The proportion of qualification completers reporting an improved employment status decreased from 2024 by 2.0 percentage points to 62.4%. The trend is similar for all student groups.
• Overall satisfaction with training among qualification part-completers decreased from 2024 by 2.4 percentage points to 75.4%, but generally satisfaction remains high with around 9 in 10 students satisfied overall.
