The Victorian Government is preparing schools for changes to senior secondary education. Find out what’s happening in 2022 as we prepare to introduce the VCE Vocational Major and Victorian Pathways Certificate.

The VCE Vocational Major and the Victorian Pathways Certificate will be introduced in 2023, replacing the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). If your child is considering or enrolled in the VCE, there will be no changes from 2022-2024. If your child is considering or enrolled in VCAL, these examples illustrate how they might transition to the new certificate offerings.

The Victorian Government is reforming senior secondary schooling to build the aspirations and skills of young people, set them up for future careers, and meet the needs of the modern economy. Victoria is moving towards a new integrated senior secondary certificate that will bring together our two senior secondary certificates, the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL).
