VET qualification levels that count towards ATAR eligibility are completed Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diplomas. For more information about ATAR eligibility and what inputs can be included in the ATAR calculation, please refer to the QTAC website.
Each year, completed VET qualifications at the same Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) level will have the same scaled score, regardless of duration, content or provider. This means, for example, that a completed Certificate III in Hospitality will have the same scaled score as a completed Certificate III in Business. The scaled scores of VET qualifications at each level are expected to change from year to year with each new year 12 cohort.
Individual students’ VET results received by QTAC from the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) are simply recorded with a completion status of Yes/No.
