Where can the VCAL take me?
The VCAL will give you practical work-related experience and a qualification that will be recognised by TAFE institutes and employers. Together these will help you move from school to work, an apprenticeship or traineeship and/or further training at TAFE.
Students planning to go straight to university do the VCE which allows them to gain an ENTER calculated by VTAC.
If you are studying the VCAL at Senior level and decide that you might be interested in going on to university, check with your teacher or careers counsellor because some universities will consider students with a VCAL Senior certificate for admission.
