VCAL

VCAL is a hands-on senior certificate for students who wish to take a vocational rather than academic pathway. It is an alternative to the VCE.

VCAL students will undertake studies in a range of strands including Literacy and Numeracy, Work Related Skills, Industry Specific Skills and Personal Development Skills. VCAL programs can be made up of specific VCAL Units, VCE Units and VET certificates.

Individual counselling and advice is essential before undertaking VCAL with the DECV in order to ensure that the course requirements are being met.
