Contribution to VCE/VCAL/Vocational Major

VCE/VCAL/VM: Students may be eligible to receive recognition of up to four units of credit – a Unit 3 & 4 sequence for each year of VET Cisco.

ATAR: This subject does not have a study score and therefore cannot contribute towards the student’s primary four. Students who receive a Units 3 & 4 sequence may be eligible for a 10% increment towards their ATAR (10% of the lowest result of your primary four scaled studies). Please note the student must already have English and three other fully scored VCE/VET subjects to create the primary four. VCAL and the VCE Vocational Major do not contribute towards an ATAR.
