Pathways from school

Educational pathways extend from school through TAFE to university. Start your career with your TAFE qualification and also use it to gain credits and entry into a university degree! These pathways have multiple entry and exit points to suit your lifestyle needs and career choices. The combination of TAFE training with university education provides you with both practical job-ready skills as well as underpinning academic knowledge.

In Victoria, you can complete your senior secondary education by completing the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), or by completing the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) through a secondary school or through TAFE. Either option leads to further study or employment. Many schools also offer VET in Schools subjects.

Your VCAL studies at Wodonga TAFE may allow you to study accredited units from courses at certificate or diploma levels, which may then be able to be used towards further studies, and this will shorten the time it takes you to complete your studies.
