streams. You will complete the main VCAL units over two days each week. During another two
days of the week, you will have access to specialist facilities at Holmesglen for industry specific
streams. Each stream offers approximately 200 hours of competency training at Certificate II
or Certificate III level, and you will complete two industry streams throughout the year (one per
semester). It may also be possible to study a different course of interest whilst completing the
2 days of VCAL core. Studying VCAL Senior this way will give you your Year 12 qualification and
accredited training in your chosen career path at the same time. Plus, one day per week is set
aside for you to organise part time or casual work.
