Prevocational vs vocational training
You are classified as prevocational if you have:

In BRoSS, prevocational training is further divided into intern and prevocational phases. These 2 phases are separated to accurately track events associated with key career milestones.
Your vocational training starts when you begin a specialist training program with an accredited Australian medical college. When you update your ‘Commencement of vocational training’ in BRoSS, your vocational phase will unlock.
