- ongoing assistance applying for courses
- support with skills for finding employment, including résumés and letters of application

All programs are delivered in English.
You will have access to online resources through the myRMIT student portal.
RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice.
VCE is a senior secondary certificate recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and internationally. Completing the VCE will expand your options for the future. You can apply through VTAC for university and VOCATIONAL EDUCATION programs, search for employment or qualify for promotion at work.
RMIT VCE students are part of the Schools Network Access Program (SNAP). Selected Year 12 students applying for RMIT degree and VOCATIONAL EDUCATION courses may be eligible for ’SNAP’ entry to these courses, regardless of their ATAR score.
Tertiary institutions and employers frequently require specific courses to be included in a Year 12 program, as prerequisites to entry or employment. You are advised to consult tertiary program information and the Victorian Tertiary Admission Centre (VTAC) before choosing VCE courses. You can also seek advice from the RMIT VCE Office and RMIT Student Services group.
Professional recognition and accreditation
The VCE Year 12 is recognised Australia-wide and internationally as a tertiary entrance qualification. VCE Year 11 does not qualify you for tertiary entrance.
