The QCAA issues a QCE to an eligible student when they have accrued the set amount of learning, at the set standard, in a set pattern, while meeting literacy and numeracy requirements. The legislative framework for the QCE is defined in the QCAA Act and QCAA Regulation.
When reading this section, it is important to note the interconnectedness of information and ensure relevant subsections are read to ensure a full understanding of requirements for the QCE. This is particularly important when identifying QCE credit for learning options and any additional rules or relevant conditions.
