Delivery of VET: Emerging Trends in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

This interactive publication contributes to the growing body of work investigating online and blended training delivery in vocational education and training (VET). It presents the delivery mode of subject-level enrolments in VET for 2019 (pre-pandemic), 2020 and 2021. The aim is to examine whether, and how, training delivery has changed during the pandemic. In addition to overall subject-level enrolment figures, the publication presents delivery mode by jurisdiction, funding source, training provider type, Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) level and student remoteness. Previous National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) research explored the increased use of online training delivery during 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and highlighted key findings from a survey of registered training organisations (RTOs). This survey indicated that more than 61% of RTOs would be more likely to deliver training via blended delivery modes in the future. The data relating to subjects delivered using blended delivery (that is, online in combination with another delivery mode) examined in this publication largely reflect the proposed training delivery approaches of these RTOs. The intended, and actual, increase in the use of online and blended delivery highlights the importance of future research in informing the use of these delivery modes.
