VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM)
The VCE VM is a two-year senior secondary program that sits within the VCE.
It’s a great choice if you prefer to learn in a real-world environment and don’t need an ATAR. It gives you the option to finish school with an employability edge.
Where will it take you?
The VCE VM is a pathway to:
- an apprenticeship or traineeship;
- further education and training; or,
- employment.
The Details
You must successfully finish at least 16 units, including:
- VCE VM Literacy units;
- VCE VM Numeracy;
- VCE VM Work Related Skills;
- VCE VM Personal Development Skills; and,
- VET at a Certificate II level or above (180 nominal hours).
Your teachers will assess your progress in each unit through a range of activities. And your only exam is the General Achievement Test (GAT).
Note that VCE VM studies are not scored in the same way as other VCE studies, so these subjects won’t count towards an ATAR.
