Adaptive Community Education (ACE)

About ACE

Youth@Federation College offers an Adaptive Community Education program (ACE) to students studying in any of Kick-Start, Step Up, VCAL Intermediate or Senior. ACE offers students additional time or extra support while they undertake their program. It also offers focused support in small groups or one-on-one situations.

The program takes place on or off campus, and can be suited to students who are re-engaging with education. It can also suit those who are working or completing other aspirations. In fact, it is a good option for any student who needs flexible time to complete her/his studies.
