Vocational Access and Education

Who we are

Box Hill Institute’s Centre for Vocational Access and Education offers a diverse range of programs designed to meet the needs of many different members of the community.

Students in these programs include adults returning to study or seeking vocational change, women returning to the employment market, overseas-born professionals entering the employment market, and people seeking to improve literacy, numeracy and English skills.

The Centre meets the specific needs of all these groups through relevant and professional program content and flexible delivery in appropriate learning environments.

What we do

The Centre for Vocational Access and Education offers a wide range of courses for students who wish to return to study or work, or who wish to pursue further study.

There is a comprehensive range of VCE subjects offered, as well as a number of courses that provide a bridge into VCE, including the Certificate of General Education for Adults. In addition, the Centre offers the Victorian Certificate in Applied Learning. These courses afford opportunities for progression along various pathways.

The Centre also conducts the highly successful Diploma of Arts (Professional Writing and Editing) for students who have already reached a VCE level and who wish to pursue a career in writing, editing or publishing. The diploma provides pathways to university writing courses and employment.

The Centre offers short courses in more than 20 languages and in various vocational areas, and designs courses in literacy, communication and technical writing for delivery in the workplace.
