QCE Credit Presentation October 2014

Determining VET Credits towards
QCE
Background
•
•
•
Upon registration, an individual web-based learning account is opened for each
student, and they are assigned a learner unique identifier (LUI) and password
that enables them to access their account. The initial password assigned is their
day and month of birth (ddmm format). (Reference Page 4 QCE Handbook)
Students can access their learning account and view stored information through
the Student Connect website (www.studentconnect.qcaa.qld.edu.au).
Most students are awarded a QCE at the end of Year 12. Students who do not
meet the QCE requirements at the end of Year 12 can continue to work towards
the certificate, as their learning account remains open, regardless of their age.
(However, credits expire after 9 years). The QCAA will award a QCE in the
following July or December, once a person becomes eligible. (Reference Page 2 QCE
Handbook)
Background
•
Partial completion of VET Certificate III or IV qualifications attracting up to 8
credits will be based on the percentage of competencies (25%, 50% or 75%)
attained. Note that some VET Certificate III and IV qualifications attract fewer
than 8 credits for completion. This will be automatically determined by the QCAA
according to the proportion of total competencies completed and reported by the
provider. Schools can find the most up-to-date information on credit associated
with VET Certificate III and IV qualifications through the QCAA’s Student
Connect website

Example student profiles
A student decided that during Years 11 and 12 they would undertake a school-based apprenticeship in carpentry
that three Authority subjects. Over the 2 years, they would complete a minimum of 96* days of on-the-job
training and the maximum 30%* of competencies towards a Certificate III in Carpentry.
Example student profiles
Beyond Year 12
If the carpentry apprenticeship is continued after leaving school, a further 6 credits will contribute on completion of the
Certificate III, taking the total for the certificate to 8 credits and the overall total to 22 credits.
The student will be awarded a QCE at the end of their apprenticeship. (Reference Page 55 QCE Handbook)
