VM & VPC Support

We provide schools with practical, compliant, and engaging VM and VPC support that makes a real difference. From program design to delivery, our services are tailored to meet your needs and strengthen outcomes for students.

Understanding VM & VPC

The VCE Vocational Major (VM) and the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) are new senior secondary certificates introduced as part of Victoria’s education reforms. Both are designed to give students more choice, more flexibility, and stronger preparation for life beyond school.

VCE Vocational Major (VM)

A two-year vocational and applied learning program within the VCE. It is aimed at those who are ready to move directly into training, apprenticeships, or employment after school.

More about the VCE Vocational Major

Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC):

A flexible, inclusive option designed for students who are not yet ready for the VCE or VM. The VPC provides a supportive environment, ensuring students can transition to further study, training, or entry-level work.
