Under the Advanced Level Vocational Stream for the 2025 academic year, the Ministry of Education accepted applications for Grade 12 student admissions.
Accessible to a larger spectrum of students, the admission process does not take into account whether a student passed or failed the G.C.E. Ordinary Level (O/L) test.
Students enrolled in Grade 12 will follow a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 04 course in Grade 13 across one of 28 vocational subject areas, including health & social care, fashion design, graphic design, automobile studies, construction studies, computer hardware & networking, and more under this stream.
