The flexibility of the QCE system means that many students choose vocational education and training (VET) courses or other courses of study as part of their pathway to achieving a QCE.
How you'll be assessed in these courses depends on what you're studying.
It’s important that you are aware of your responsibilities when submitting assessment. Completion of the QCAA’s academic integrity course (or an equivalent course) during senior schooling is part of the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) eligibility requirements.
VET courses may be assessed in different ways, including:
- observation
- written assessment
- questioning
- work samples
- third-party feedback.
Talk to your school or VET provider about what you'll be learning and how you will be assessed.
If you're studying through a non-school provider such as TAFE or a private training provider, it's important you tell them your 10-digit LUI so they can register your learning with the QCAA. This ensures any achievements are recorded in your learning account and will count towards your QCE eligibility and/or an ATAR.
Other courses allow you to study a specific area of interest, through recognised certificates and awards or university subjects studied while you are still at school.
The assessment requirements will vary, so talk to the course provider about what you'll be learning and how you will be assessed.
