- What types of WACE courses are there? ATAR courses for students
who are aiming to go to university and will need to sit an external
exam which will get them an ATAR. General courses for students
aiming to enter further training or the workforce straight from
school. These will have an externally set tasks that may be
scheduled during Exam week.
- Slide 5
- What other programs are there? There are also Vocational
Education and Training (VET) programs(Certificate Courses) and
Endorsed programs which contribute to WACE equivalence and address
areas of learning not covered by courses. Certificate Courses are
nationally accredited and consistent with the requirements of the
Australian Qualifications Framework. Students can mix and match
these options to provide the best platform to meet the requirements
to achieve a WACE.

post school

- Certificate Courses If a student does not complete the course
requirements to achieve an ATAR, they will need to complete a
minimum of a Certificate II in addition to their other course
enrolments to achieve their WACE. Studying a Certificate Course
provides credit towards the number of course units students need to
complete to achieve their WACE. The maximum number of Certificate
Courses a students can study is 2 per year.
