3. What is a VET Student Loan approved course?

On this page:

A VET Student Loan approved course is a vocational education and training (VET) course that has been approved by the Australian Government to be eligible for VET Student Loans. They are at diploma and above level and align with industry needs and lead to good employment outcomes.

You can only get a VET Student Loan for a VET Student Loan approved course.

A list of approved courses can be found in the VET Student Loans 2025 Course List and Loan Caps (for students).

You can find VET courses at Search for training courses | Your Career. You can filter the list of courses to find VET Student Loan approved courses. You can also search for courses by qualification, course feature, financial assistance and industry sector.

You can also ask your course provider if the course you intend to study is approved for VET Student Loans.

If you’re already enrolled in a course that is later determined to be not approved for VSL, you’ll still be able to receive your VET Student Loan until you complete the course.
