Assessment in the VCE-VM

When students undertake a VCE-VM program they are required to enrol in and complete a Vocational Education and Training (VET) course of their choice to fulfil the minimum requirements to be awarded the VCE-VM qualification. Students must demonstrate that they have satisfactorily met the requirements for each unit by completing and submitting all school-based assessment tasks and activities. The school will determine that students have met satisfactory completion of units in accordance with VCAA requirements. VCE VM students do not complete external assessments apart from Section A of the General Achievement Test (GAT). Students who obtain a VCE-VM qualification do not receive an ATAR for university entrance, but may apply for admission into a TAFE course.
