Secondary school (VCE)

The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is the senior secondary school qualification (Year 11 and Year 12) issued by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). Our VCE course at Victoria University Polytechnic offers a second chance to complete your secondary education and improve your career prospects.

The Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) focuses on practical knowledge and employability skills, offering you a pathway into apprenticeships, traineeships or further study.

VCE and VCAL are delivered under the authority of the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA).
