The Victorian Pathways Certificate is a non-senior secondary qualification that provides students with curriculum that is enriching and engaging and supports students in developing the skills, capabilities and qualities for educational and personal success.

The VPC is an applied learning program that provides flexibility to meet an individuals needs and prepares students to move into the VCE Vocational Major for years 11 and 12, an Apprenticeship or into the workforce.

At Juniper College, project based learning is the basis of most VPC studies and students learn under close supervision with high levels of direction. Our alternate education setting encourages students to build their capacity to engage in education through supportive small classes, access to Wellbeing and Careers advice, and curriculum tailored to build their knowledge and skills through real world, hands-on learning. We create an environment where students can achieve success through scaffolded learning and assisting them to change their perceptions of their capacity to experience success in education and learning.

The VPC is delivered as a 12 – 24 month course.

To be eligible to receive the VPC, students must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 12 units, including at least:

VPC Literacy
VPC Numeracy
VPC Work Related Skills
VPC Personal Development Skills

In addition to the above, students are also able to undertake an accredited VET certificate if they choose.

Students attend onsite from 9.00am – 2.30pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays for their VPC course, and undertake work placement on Wednesdays.
