You may also like to enrol into iVCAL if your school does not offer VCAL. A Memorandum 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, depending on the course
