Victorian Professional Program
The Victorian Professional Program (VPP), a course of practical legal training being offered in Victoria.
The Council of Legal Education has accredited the VPP as a course of practical training leading to admission in Victoria as a barrister & solicitor.

The VPP addresses the specific pre-admission needs of the Victorian legal profession. The content of the course is Victorian and Commonwealth Law and practice. Instructors are experienced Victorian practitioners.
A fantastic course, that I would recommend to all students coming out of University daunted about getting Articles. I have learnt more in these lessons than 2 years at a practice. - VPP Student
