The VCE Vocational Major is a vocational and applied learning program that sits within the VCE taking an ‘Applied Learning approach”.
The VCE Vocational Major will prepare students to move successfully into apprenticeships, traineeships, further education and training, university through alternative entry programs or directly into the workforce. There are four main studies that are assessed at a school level through authentic assessment activities. There are no external examinations for the VCE VM studies and therefore students do not receive a study score and are not eligible to receive an ATAR.
Students who have completed the satisfactory completion requirements of the VCE VM will receive a Victorian Certificate of Education with the words Vocational Major on it to recognise their achievements.
It is a requirement for all VCE Vocational Major students to successfully complete a Vocational Education and Training (VET) Course and complete work placement for 1 day a week.
