Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET)
In addition to Abbey Road Institute’s global curriculum and international recognition, our Sydney program offers graduates the advantage of an Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification.
VET qualifications focus on specific occupational skills and competencies. The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) recognises prior learning or current competencies and allows for recognition, credit transfer and flexible learning pathways. A VET qualification provides an industry-relevant pathway to employment by providing practical learning opportunities.
Assessment in VET is competency based – this means the student is assessed against an industry defined standard, rather than being compared against others. VET courses comprise units of competency from nationally endorsed training packages developed for each specific course, and the industry standard is outlined in every relevant unit of competency.
Our unique combination of global professional audio insight and nationally endorsed qualification will broaden your skills in music production and provide the practical experience you’ll need to design, plan and implement a successful career in the music industry.

Before I was at Abbey Road, it was easy to write a song, and get a singer. But the songwriting process doesn’t work like that. It was important to understand vocal production, writing, and music. It should all happen simultaneously.
Joel Robinson, Graduate
Abbey Road really helped me with the foundation of audio. It’s an overwhelming subject at first, but [the course] really breaks it down and really makes it digestible.
Charlotte Adelle, Graduate
The time I spent at Abbey Road Institute helped me transform my skills. I came from a bedroom producer who made music as a hobby to an audio professional.
Phoenix Manson, Graduate
Abbey Road was the perfect stepping stone into my professional career as an artist and audio engineer.
Alex Braithwaite, Graduate
Studying the past year at Abbey Road has been phenomenal. The teaching staff are top notch and I now have a community of people to draw on who are as obsessed with music as me.
