VET Education
The Young Parents Education Program (YPEP) offers pregnant teens and young parents the opportunity to complete their education in the flexible learning environment. Students are encouraged to bring their babies to class with them, and a fully-qualified child care support worker will be onsite during each class to assist with care.

The VPC is an applied learning program that provides flexibility to meet an individuals needs and prepares students to move into the VCE Vocational Major for years 11 and 12, an Apprenticeship or into the workforce.
At Foundation Learning Centre, project based learning is the basis of most VPC studies and students learn under close supervision with high levels of direction.
The Victorian Pathways Certificate is delivered over 1 – 2 years.
VCE VM:
