Apply to deliver the VCE and/or the VPC

Education and training providers seeking to deliver the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and/or the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) from 2026 must apply to the VCAA for permission to deliver these certificates. There are two stages to this process:

  1. All curriculum and assessment plans and administrative documents to be deemed compliant by the VCAA Curriculum Division. Providers will be notified at the completion of this stage.
  2. Formal approval granted through the internal VCAA governance process. Providers and relevant parties, including the VRQA will be informed once this stage is complete.
