The VDC offers ongoing professional learning to all teaching and non-teaching staff in the VET sector through an extensive range of webinars, workshops, and free thought leader events as well as government funded programs, grants, scholarships and customised activities. Since its inception in 2005, the VDC has evolved to become one of Australia's leading providers of professional learning for VET educators, trainers, lecturers and other VET professionals. Its training programs are independently evaluated by the Australian Council for Educational Research. All program content is mapped against the VET Practitioners Capability Framework for educators at all stages of their careers. There is no membership fee to utilise the VDC's services, and competitive fees for enrolment in individual training events.
