About the course
The home for this diverse Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) program is at our city campus right near the iconic café precinct of Degraves St and Flinders Lane, just a short walk from Flinders Street Station and other public transport.
This course gives you the ability to complete Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Victorian Certificate of Education in an adult environment and prepares you for further study in a wide variety of fields.

In 2021, VCE will be delivered via blended learning, a combination of online and face-to-face classes. In this mode, theory classes are delivered online and science practicals and assessments (when required) are delivered face-to-face by your teacher. There are also scheduled face-to-face classes during the semester when you can meet your teacher for targeted learning.
Online lessons are conducted with the use of virtual classrooms and all course information and resources are accessed via the learning management system. Using these modes and face-to-face classes, you will be guided through the information about topics for the week by a highly skilled and experienced team of teachers.
Please note: Students undertaking this course will be enrolled at the Box Hill Institute (RTO 4687), City campus (CAE). Upon completion, you will receive certification from the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA).
