VCE VOCATIONAL MAJOR

Over years 11 and 12 you will study a 2-year vocational and applied learning program within the VCE.

COURSE INFORMATION

The VCE has expanded to include the Vocational Major, meaning over years 11 and 12 you can study a 2-year vocational and applied learning program within the VCE. The qualification integrates VCE VM subjects and Vocational Education and Training (VET). To obtain the VCE VM, students must complete a minimum of 16 VCE VM units, with minimum units of 3 Literacy Skills, 2 Numeracy Skills, 2 Personal Development Skills, 2 Work Related Skills and 180 hours of a Certificate II or III VET qualification. The program offered by the College means at the end of year 12, students obtain both their VCE and a nationally recognised VET qualification.

The VCE VM takes a more practical and applied approach, which allows for learning to occur in a more holistic manner, and to account for each student’s personal strengths, interests and goals. This allows the College to develop a program where students are immersed in and connected to the sports and recreation industry. The curriculum is developed by our expert staff, who work with our major sports industry partners and sports industry leaders to develop industry-based curriculum and provide real-life industry experiences and opportunities for students. We develop learning experiences across a number of sports to help students develop the knowledge, skills and attributes sought by the industry. This combination helps our students to acquire the skills to support future educational and employment pathways.
