In VCAL and Stepping Stones we help you create a personalised learning experience. If you have a passion we can create learning activities which will give you credit towards a related certificate. Classes are run by fully qualified and registered teachers. Areas of study are literacy (reading & writing), numeracy (working with numbers), work related skills (getting ready for work), personal development (helping the community), and industry specific skills (nationally recognised training) which is also credited towards TAFE course(s).

Full or part time enrolment is available. Joint enrolment with Daylesford Secondary College is also available. Students may be eligible for Centrelink payments. Days of attendance are by negotiation.
