VPC

Note: The VPC will not be suitable for all students and will only be offered to students after extensive pathways counselling, Altona College currently does not offer this certificate.

The Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) is an inclusive Year 11 and 12 standards-based certificate that meets the needs of a smaller number of students who are not able or ready to complete the VCE (including the VCE VM). The VPC will help students move into a senior secondary qualification, entry level vocational education and training, or straight into a job. Students will be able to start their VPC at any time during the school year and the time to finish the program will be flexible.

Who is the VPC for?

Students in Year 11 and 12 who cannot participate in the VCE or the VCE-VM
Students that have missed significant periods of school
Students who may have additional needs
Students who are at risk of disengagement in education
