The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is awarded to students who successfully complete their secondary education. It is recognised internationally, and provides pathways to employment as well as to further study at university, TAFE (Technical and Further Education).

VCE是澳大利亚维州的证书教育，Victoria Certificate of Education的简称。颁发给成功完成维州大学预科课程（高中）学生的毕业证书。维州高考课程评估当局VCAA对学生考试成绩进行审核和评估，合格后颁发给VCE证书。

拥有此证书，学生可以申请进入大学继续深造或进行职业教育。由于它的课程设置结构合理且教育评估的可信度高，VCE证书被世界上的许多国家承认。 

The VCE is usually completed in Years 11 and 12, but can be started in Year 10. About half of Year 10 students undertake some VCE units. VCE can also be studied by adults and completed in one year.

VCE课程在高中11年级和12年级开设，相当于中国的高二和高三。但是VCE课程允许学生提前一年开始选修，也就是说原本是两年的VCE课程，可以在三年内完成。有相当一部分学习能力较强的学生，在确定了自己的学习文理倾向后，在十年级和十一年级就完成部分VCE课程，让十二年级的学业负担相对减轻的同时，更能全力以赴冲刺高分！

Within the VCE, students can undertake vocational education and training (VCE VET); this can be via School Based Apprenticeships or at a training organisation.

VCE的课程可以在所就读日校教学大纲内进行选修，同时也可在课外补习中心进行补习。部分日校没有赋予的课程，学生也可通过在VCAA认证的注册机构进行选修、学习，以完成最后的学业。
