Students complete a Certificate II in Community Recreation (SRC20204) during their first year and take part in a Certificate III Fitness stream during their second year. This forms part of their VCE or VCAL. Students will receive the VCE as well as a vocational qualification when they follow the prescribed program approved by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority.

The Community Recreation qualification aims to provide specific skills and knowledge required for an assistant level employee at an aquatic centre or gymnasium/dry area fitness centre.
