Pathway programs
Pathways programs will take you where you want to go.
Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL)
VCAL programs aim to enable students to prepare and pursue diverse higher level education and training pathways at FedUni. There are three different levels of VCAL program; Foundation, Intermediate (VET pathway) and Senior (VET pathway).
Foundation develops students knowledge and employable skills, with a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy. The program is for 15-19 year olds who have not achieved year 10 (or equivalent). Intermediate focuses on 'hands on learning' for students in years 11 and 12.
Both Foundation and Intermediate programs are a recognised senior secondary qualification.
Senior VCAL is for secondary students who want to continue their training through TAFE/VET as apprentices or go straight into the workforce. You can combine senior secondary literacy and numeracy skills with a variety of VET programs such as Automotive, Hair and Beauty and many more.
