Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE)

​The Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) is Queensland’s senior secondary schooling qualification, internationally recognised and providing evidence of senior schooling achievements. To be awarded a QCE, students must accumulate 20 credits from various learning options, including QCAA subjects or courses, vocational education and training qualifications, and recognised studies. These credits must be earned at a set standard, in a set pattern, while also meeting literacy and numeracy requirements. Planning for the QCE typically begins in Year 10, when schools collaborate with students and their parents or carers to develop a Senior Education and Training (SET) plan or equivalent. This plan tailors the student’s learning to their abilities, interests, and ambitions, mapping out their pathway to achieving the QCE. The flexibility of the QCE allows students to choose from a wide range of subjects and courses that align with their interests, further study, and career goals. For more detailed information about the QCE, including eligibility criteria and planning resources, visit the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority’s official page.
