VCAL
If you're in Year 10, 11 or 12, our youth programs may be for you. We offer the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL), a hands-on option for students. The VCAL gives you practical work-related experience, as well as literacy and numeracy skills and the opportunity to build personal skills that are important for life and work. Like the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), VCAL is an accredited secondary certificate.
