Students can complete the VCE Certificate in one year, or it can be studied part-time over a number of years, requiring attendance at a class once or twice a week, depending on the subjects being studied.

Night classes are also held at Year 12 level for those with busy lifestyles.

In 2003 a range of subjects will be offered, including Year 12 English, Further Maths, Psychology, Information Processing and Management, History of Revolutions, Health and Human Development and Business Management.

Year 11 subjects on offer include English and Foundation English, General Maths and Foundation Maths, Psychology, Information Technology, Drama and Business Management.

Subjects not offered on campus can be studied through the Distance Education Centre of Victoria.

Students studying Year 12 in 2002 achieved excellent results, with a number of students receiving study scores over 40 and obtaining ENTER score’s in the 90’s.

Most students achieved results allowing them to obtain places in tertiary courses either at universities or TAFE Institutes.

The Community Access Centre provides a friendly learning environment and teachers who support student needs.

VCE enrolments will take place at the Community Access Centre at GippsTAFE’s Yallourn Campus from Jan 20^th until Feb 10^th. All classes will commence the week of Feb 3^rd, 2003.
