About the VCE

The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is a certificate that recognises the successful completion of secondary education in Victoria. It is an outstanding qualification that is recognised around the world. The VCE provides pathways to further study at university, Technical and Further Education (TAFE) and to the world of work. It is even possible to undertake a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship within your VCE.

The VCAA develop courses that enable VCE students to acquire skills and knowledge in a wide range of studies. We are also responsible for ensuring the quality of the school-assessed component of the VCE, the external examinations and the delivery of all VCE results to students across the State every year.
