 Advanced Vocational Certificate of Education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Advanced Vocational Certificate of Education, usually shorted to Advanced VCE,Vocational A-Level or AVCE, was a vocational qualification that used to be available in British Further Education institutions.
Many students prefer the vocational system because they can learn more from hands-on work, though others find it difficult to maintain their motivation because of the constant evaluation and coursework.
The qualification was created in September 2000 to replace the Advanced GNVQ, with the main change being that the marking system was altered from the three level Distinction, Merit and Pass system to A–E grading, bringing the AVCE into line with A-Levels.
