VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM)

The VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) is a two-year applied learning program that is a part of the VCE.

The VCE VM program is a set of semester length units undertaken over a minimum period of two years. At Greater Shepparton Secondary College, our VCE VM program enables students to gain skills for work and life and hands-on experience in one or more industries, finishing school with an employability edge.

This program is designed for students to meet their needs and pursue their goals within the rules laid down by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). In order for students to successfully complete their VCE VM, they must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 16 units over two years including:

  • 3 units of Literacy (or other English subject)
  • 3 other unit 3/4 sequences (6 units).

The 16 units may include an unlimited number of units of Vocational Education and Training (VET).

VCE VM subjects do not receive a study score, and do not count towards an ATAR.

The VCE VM is a great choice for students who prefer to learn in a real-world environment and do not require an ATAR. Students are assessed in class through a range of activities and are not required to sit external examinations apart from the General Achievement Test (GAT) (Part A only).

Students complete studies in:
Literacy
Numeracy
Personal Development Skills
Work Related Skills
Industry Skills (VET)
