QCE Credits

WORKING TOWARDS A QUEENSLAND CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION (qCE)

To be eligible for a Queensland Certificate of Education (a QCE), students must achieve at least 20 credits of learning. A minimum of 12 credits must come from completed Core courses of study.  The remaining 8 credits can come from a combination of core, preparatory, enrichment or advanced courses, with preparatory studies contributing a maximum of 6 credits. Partial completion of a Core course of study may also contribute some credit. Students must also meet the QCE literacy and numeracy requirements.

Unilearn courses can be used to add to your existing credit(s) in your QCAA Learning Account. 

To do this, you will need at least 1 credit from Core studies completed while enrolled at a school.
