Training for conducting and administering 2021 VCE external assessments

Principals/directors, VCE Coordinators and examination centre coordinators

It is a VCAA requirement that all newly appointed chief supervisors and newly appointed school personnel responsible for conducting and administering VCE external assessments attend training before starting their role.

Training sessions will be held online during May using Webex Events.

Newly appointed chief supervisors responsible for the conduct and administration of the 2021 VCE external assessments, including the General Achievement Test, VCE written examinations and the Extended Investigation Critical Thinking Test must attend one of the training sessions.

Any new chief supervisor appointed immediately before the 2020 VCE written examinations who could not attend the October 2020 training sessions for new chief supervisors must also attend.

New school personnel responsible for conducting and administering VCE external assessments must also attend a training session, even if their school has a continuing and experienced chief supervisor.

Schools should also consider their succession and emergency planning by encouraging a current assistant supervisor to attend one of the training sessions.
