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.

  • This program aims to develop:
  • Real-world skills
  • Work placement
  • Applied projects

Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC):
