Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (Intermediate)
With our iVCAL course, you can study all of the core units for the 3 Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) levels – Foundation, Intermediate and Senior – online. You can tailor this self-paced course to suit your learning needs. Plus, you can access iVCAL from any location, at any time, using the internet. Teachers, student welfare officers and counsellors will support you through this course.

A Memoraundum of Understanding contract can be organised between Box Hill Institute and your school to allow you to study with us while enrolled at your school.
In Stage 1, you will complete the educational core units of literacy, numeracy, personal development and work-related skills. You may elect to continue with Stage 1 units at a higher VCAL level before starting Stage 2.
In Stage 2, you choose a vocational qualification, which you can study face to face in the traditional classroom environment or online or via a combination of both. The list of vocational options is extensive and includes:
