VCAL is an accredited secondary certificate which runs within the same timeframe as VCE, with each level (Intermediate or Senior) completed in one year.

Each student will spend 3 days per week on Literacy, Oral Communications, Numeracy, Work Related Skills and Personal Development Skills, and one day each on VET, work experience and volunteer work. We have 1 intake per year for our VCAL programs.
