VCAL is delivered at The Gordon in our purpose built, state-of-the-art Geelong Technical Education Centre (GTEC). GTEC is a school with a difference. Our staff work together to provide a unique pathway for students wanting to progress from the world of school to the world of work. 

We deliver integrated upper-secondary schooling (VCAL) with hands-on TAFE training and structured workplace learning.  Our program is highly flexible - so if you have an interest in hands-on work, GTEC can tailor a course just to suit you.

Student story

Image of Emilia La Spada, Animal Studies student

“I completed my senior VCAL alongside a Certificate III in Animal Studies at GTEC. I chose to study here as mainstream school wasn't the right fit for me, and I wanted to learn in a hands-on way. The teachers are all great. They treat you like a person rather than a student, and are there to support your learning.
I love working with animals and am looking forward to continuing my career in this field.”
