What counts towards my VCAL?

I have already started a VET certificate. Will this count towards my VCAL?

Yes. You should speak to your teacher or careers counsellor to work out how much of your previous study counts towards your VCAL and to plan the remainder of your VCAL program.

 

I have already done a VCE subject. Will this count towards my VCAL?

Yes, if you have an ‘S’ result for the VCE unit it will count towards your VCAL. You should speak to your teacher or careers counsellor to plan the remainder of your VCAL program.

 

Can I swap to the VCE if I change my mind?

Yes. If you want to swap to the VCE, or if you want to study for the VCE after completing the VCAL, any units successfully completed as part of your Intermediate/Senior VCAL may count towards your VCE. You might also be able to transfer credit for other VET/Further Education units and modules completed as part of your VCAL. You should discuss this with your teacher or careers counsellor if you decide to take this option.
