The Victorian Certificate of Education, or VCE, is a secondary school qualification in Victoria, Australia. It is typically completed by students in their final two years of high school, known as Year 11 and Year 12. The VCE program includes a range of subjects, allowing students to tailor their education to their interests and career goals. Students who successfully complete the VCE receive a score called the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), which is used for university admissions. The VCE is recognized nationally and provides pathways to further education, vocational training, and employment opportunities.
