VCE VET DANCE CERTIFICATE II | COURSE OVERVIEW

The VCE VET Dance program is drawn from a national training package and offers a portable qualification that is recognised throughout Australia. VCE VET Dance is a two-year vocational program delivered to Year 10, 11, and 12 students and contributes to achieving their Victorian Secondary School Certificate. The course has been designed to:

Develop transferrable skills that help students succeed in their chosen pathway following VET Dance.
Develop dance and choreography skills.
Develop a sound understanding of safe dance principles to support students’ longevity in dance.
Enable students to participate in further training in an area which they are passionate about while completing secondary school.

Upon successful completion, students will achieve Nationally Recognised CUA20120 Certificate II in Dance and a Statement of Attainment to partially complete CUA30120 Certificate III in Dance. For students completing the VCAA Scored Assessment for Units 3 & 4, assessments will be graded with scores contributing to an ATAR.

Yes! Students wishing to receive an ATAR contribution for VCE VET Dance must undertake a scored assessment. This consists of three coursework tasks worth 50% of the overall study score and a performance examination worth 50%. The scored assessment is based on the Scored Units 3 and 4 sequence of VCE VET Dance, which the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) has endorsed.

Students can choose to complete the 3 & 4 VET Dance sequence as an unscored program.
