URVEY WHAT IS IT?
The 2005 Student Outcomes Survey is a survey of students who have successfully completed some
vocational education and training in Australia during 2004. The survey has been conducted annually since
1997.
WHY IS IT DONE?
The survey looks at 3 important areas:
Did you think the training was relevant and did it benefit you?
Were you satisfied with the training you received?
Did your employment situation change as a result of your training?
DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE?
No, participating in the survey is voluntary. However, your answers are important as they can help to
improve future vocational training.
