3. How do you qualify for a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE)? Applied General Certificate II and III subjects The Diploma (maximum 8 points) is complementary not CORE. Cert I’s are in the Preparatory category, not CORE.

4. Pathway Options in Senior 6 General Subjects preferably 5 General Subjects + 1Applied / Cert preferably Does not allow post school pathway to university Bachelor course. A rank is achieved by completing a Cert III or above. A student can be a VET student and complete Certs lower than Cert III, and therefore not be eligible for a RANK. Typically, these students are looking at a trade, apprenticeship or traineeship pathway. Decision will be unique to student aspiration and demonstrated pattern of achievement .

5. Most capable students should select 6 General subjects. Mt A advice is that ATAR eligible students should do 5 General Subjects. General subjects will scale better than Applied and Cert III courses.

6. Ranking Achieved by completing a Cert III, Cert IV or Diploma Completion of a single Cert III course or higher, provides a Rank (which is fixed) and valued by the university or TAFE in the year of graduation Strong advantage to students B- / C+ or lower Current Ranking Equivalencies Cert III – 63.15- 68 Cert IV – 72-74 Diploma – 82-87 Universities all assign these differently!!

7. What Queensland Tertiary Institutions accept Ranking? UQ and USC do not accept Rank as a high school applicant Provided the rank meets the cut off requirements and pre-requisites are met. QUT Griffith ACU Cert IV

8. Ranking or ATAR? Ranking Cert III has additional QCE points and is a recognised qualification Cert III valued at a ‘C’ in English. Students who are in the C range, are likely to get a better Rank than an ATAR. Recognised by most but not all universities ATAR High stakes assessment No guarantees – iterative scaling process used to determine the value of subjects and results relatively Recognised by all universities
