VCE VET Information and Communications Technology

The VCE VET Information and Communications Technology program is drawn from a national training package and offers portable qualifications which are recognised throughout Australia. These qualifications provide students with a broad range of skills and knowledge to pursue a career or further training in various sectors of the information and communications technology industries.

Scored assessment is available for the Scored Unit 3–4 sequence of the VCE VET Information and Communications Technology program.

Qualifications

ICT20120 Certificate II in Applied Digital Technologies: an entry level qualification that provides the foundation skills and knowledge to use information and communications technology in any industry.

Credit in the VCE (including VCE VM and VPC): recognition of up to six VCE VET units at Units 1 and 2 level.

ICT30120 Certificate III in Information Technology: a qualification that provides the skills and knowledge for an individual to be competent in a wide range of general information and communications technology technical functions and to achieve a degree of self-sufficiency as an advanced ICT user.

Credit in the VCE (including VCE VM and VPC): recognition of up to two VCE VET units at Units 1 and 2 level, a scored VCE VET Unit 3–4 sequence and an additional non-scored VCE VET Unit 3–4 sequence.

Note: The scored Unit 3–4 sequence must be delivered and assessed in a single enrolment year. Students are strongly advised against undertaking the scored Unit 3–4 sequence without first completing Units 1 and 2 because Unit 3–4 sequences are not designed for standalone study.

ATAR contribution

Students wishing to receive an ATAR contribution for the VCE VET Information and Communications Technology program Unit 3–4 sequence must undertake scored assessment for the purpose of achieving a study score. This study score can contribute directly to the ATAR, either as one of the student's best four studies (the primary four) or as a fifth or sixth study increment.

Where a student elects not to receive a study score for a scored Unit 3–4 sequence no contribution to the ATAR will be available.

Where an additional non-scored Unit 3–4 sequence is undertaken students may be eligible for a fifth or sixth study increment.

The increment is awarded by the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC).

Further information can be found on the VTAC website.

Where a scored Unit 3–4 sequence is used as an increment, the increment will be calculated using 10% of the scaled score.

Where an additional non-scored Unit 3–4 sequence is used as an increment, the increment will be calculated using 10% of the fourth study score of the primary four.
