It is a Year 12 certificate.  \nWHAT IS VCE VM?  \nThe VCE VM is a 2-year vocational and applied learning program within the VCE with specific subjects designed to prepare students for life, further study and employment.  \nWHAT IS VCE VET?  \nVocational Education and Training programs in schools are nationally accredited training Certificate II or III level courses, which count as VCE studies. On-the-job training at workplaces or structured workplace learning is an important part of the delivery for many of the courses.  \nVCE VM students must complete at least 180 hours (Unit 1 & 2) of a VET subject.  \nHOW IS VCE STRUCTURED?  \nThe VCE course is made up of studies and units, some of which must be studied as a sequence.  \nA study is a subject, for example, English or Biology. It is made up of four units (Units 1, 2, 3 and 4), each of which is a semester in length.  \nFor most students, VCE is completed over two years. At WSSC students complete VCE over three years.  \n[Website: www.wssc.vic.edu.au](Website: www.wssc.vic.edu.au) Phone: (02) 6043 7500 Email: [SeniorCollege@wssc.vic.edu.au](SeniorCollege@wssc.vic.edu.au)  \n2  \nHOW ARE VCE SUBJECTS GRADED?  \nUnit 1, 2, 3, & 4:  \n• Satisfactory or Not Satisfactory  \nSatisfactory can be met through demonstrated knowledge of the study design through coursework and/or SAC/SAT’s.  \nWHAT MAKES UP MY STUDY SCORE?  \nUnit 3 & 4 (Excluding VCE VM subjects and unscored VET):  \n• Graded Assessments  \n° School Assessed Coursework and School Assessed Tasks ° Very High to Very Low  \n• External VCAA Exams  \nThe graded assessments and external exams allow you to be ranked against other students in the state, this is called a study score and is a number from 0-50.  \nWHAT MAKES UP MY STUDY SCORE?  \nAn ATAR is the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank. It is a figure between 0.00 and 99.95.  \nThe ATAR is a figure that reflects your relative achievement compared to everyone else in Year 12 in Victoria.
