A 'VCE Program' is a set of semester units undertaken over a minimum period of two years.

There is no upper limit to the number of years over which results may be accumulated for the award of the certificate.

This program is designed by you to meet your needs within the rules laid down by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA).

VCAA Requirements

You must do :

• 4 units of English

You must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 16 units including:

• 3 units of English
• 3 other unit 3/4 sequences (6 units)

The English requirement remains unchanged.

Choosing a Program

Returning to Study
