Flexible and Alternative Education

Flexible education is offered by alternative providers and is an alternative to mainstream education.

You can complete:

• Year 10 through a CGEA course- this is a Certificate of General Education for Adults – that focuses on Literacy, Numeracy and Personal Development
• Year 11 and 12 with a VCAL course- a ‘hands on’, applied approach to education.
• Year 11 and 12 VCE at TAFE
• A short term re-engagement program

In the FMP Region we have a number of independant school who offer flexible VCAL Programs :

• David Scott School
• Advance College
• Indie school 
• Other Local Flexible Providers

Pathway options to further study or employment and certificate courses.

Certificate 2 is valuable for the following reasons:

1. It is considered a year 12 equivalent
2. Some Certificate 2 courses are pre-apprenticeship pathways (a qualification which can help in obtaining an apprenticeship).
3. Certificate 2 courses can be part of  VET in schools 

The Any More Questions video has more information.

Other flexible education options are:

1. Part time and home education
2. Distance education
