Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE)

The VCE VM is a two-year program that offers you a pathway into apprenticeships, traineeships or further study. You will gain interpersonal skills and build confidence through learning activities and completing tasks that require you to apply your problem-solving, leadership and decision making capabilities.

You will develop:

• literacy and numeracy skills
• work-related skills
• industry-specific skills
• personal and employability skills
• skills for further education.

The VCE VM is a senior secondary school qualification (Year 11 and Year 12) issued by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) and is delivered under the authority of the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA).
