VCE Vocational Major
The VCE Vocational Major (formerly Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning) is a version of the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) allowing students to pursue vocational training as part of their VCE. After completing a VCE Vocational Major a student will receive a VCE but will not receive an ATAR, unless they have completed a custom VM program that includes four scored VCE subjects.
The introduction of VCE Vocational Major in 2023 was part of a larger funding towards VET courses in general in order to allow students to complete subjects not available in a traditional VCE pathway and promote important industry including health, community services and early childhood education, building and construction, digital and media technologies, hospitality, and engineering.
