The Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) is a school-based qualification awarded at the completion of the senior phase of learning, usually at the end of Year 12.
It confirms a student’s achievements of:
- a significant amount of learning – at least 20 credits. As school studies and other learning, such as SBT, are completed, these achievements or credits, as they are known, are banked and the learning account grows just like a bank account.
- a set standard of achievement – minimum SA in all subjects. meeting literacy and numeracy requirements – determined by a pass in English and Maths.
