Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) is a 'hands-on' option for students in Years 11 and 12 in Victoria, Australia. The VCAL gives students practical work-related experience, as well as literacy and numeracy skills and the opportunity to build personal skills that are important for life and work. Like the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), VCAL is an accredited secondary certificate.
VCAL is a practical education stream, where students may work in a trade or part-time job on some days of the week and supplement this by doing a set course at school.
