Adults undertake VCE as a pathway to:

How is an adult defined?

You must meet two criteria to be enrolled as an adult.

How do I achieve VCE?

In schools, students are required to complete a minimum of 16 half-year units of study, generally over two years. This does not apply if you are an adult.

If you are an adult intending to complete the VCE, it is assumed that you bring experience and knowledge learned outside the classroom to your studies. An adult may complete the VCE in one year or choose to take longer.

Entry requirements for the Adult VCE

While there are no formal entry requirements for studying the VCE as an adult, you should contact your preferred provider to see if they have any minimum educational requirements for adult students.

Where can I study?

You can study Adult VCE with a range of educational providers, including Adult Community Education providers and TAFE institutes.
