The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is a certificate which recognises the successful completion of your secondary education.  It is normally taken during years 11 to 12 of secondary school. However, many students today are choosing to start their VCE in Year 10.  The VCE is a valuable pathway to further study at University, Technical and Further Education (TAFE) and to the world of work.  The VCE is administered and controlled by the Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority (VCAA). Entry into tertiary institutions (universities etc.) is controlled by the individual institutes, but all VCE results are compiled and forwarded to the institutes by Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC ).

The VCE is based on Student Outcomes, with School Assessed Coursework (SAC), School Assessed Tasks (SAT) and external examinations used to provide the level of student achievement. Successful completion of Outcomes determines whether or not a student satisfactorily completes a unit, whilst the SAC-SAT provide the grade for the unit.
