Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE)
On this page
Gain the necessary qualifications to enter a TAFE or tertiary (Degree) course. The VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) is the senior secondary school qualification (Year 11 and Year 12) offered at most Victorian Secondary Schools. The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) issues the VCE. The VCE is increasingly becoming a prerequisite for employment in many areas.
Students who join the Adult VCE program come from different walks of life and have varied reasons for joining the program.
VCE is a two-year, full-time course or part-time equivalent including Year 11 and Year 12 studies. Adults returning to study, however, can complete the course in one year.
