What is the VCE VM?
The VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) is a two-year program over, Year 11 and 12, for students to develop knowledge and skills for work and life.
You will get skills and hands-on experience in one or more industries, and finish school with an employability edge.
Your teachers will assess your progress through a range of activities.
There are four core subjects in the VCE VM.
VCE VM uses a different form of assessment to other VCE studies. The assessment is completed by your teacher in class, who’ll support you to achieve the requirements.
VCE VM subjects don’t receive a study score, so they won’t count towards an ATAR.
The VCE VM is a great choice if you prefer to learn in a real-world environment and you don’t need an ATAR. This might be the right choice for you if you want to pursue TAFE, an apprenticeship, a traineeship, full-time work straight after Year 12, or apply to university after time in training or work.
Where the VCE VM can take you
The VCE VM will help you prepare for:
- an apprenticeship or traineeship
- further education and training
- university, through alternative entry programs
- going straight into the workforce.
