Offshore VCE providers appoint teaching staff of their choice who may be expatriate or local.
All VCE teachers offshore are required to participate in professional learning, as facilitated by their Victorian partner school, to ensure that they have the knowledge and skills to teach VCE. VCE providers in non-English speaking countries are required to provide a preparatory English language program for students.
VCE providers offshore may choose to deliver the VCE alongside the local curriculum. This enables students to continue to study for their local senior secondary qualification and the VCE at the same time.
For the successful planning, implementation and delivery of a VCE offshore program, the following frameworks need to be addressed:
  • Policy and vision
  • Curriculum and assessment
  • Student achievement and outcomes
  • Staffing and professional learning
  • Governance and accountability
