Queensland Certificate

of Education (QCE)

Literacy and Numeracy requirements
The literacy and numeracy requirements can be met through a range of options, including satisfactory
completion of Unit 1 or Unit 2 of an English subject (literacy) and a Maths subject (numeracy).

Completed Core requirements

Completion of Unit 1 and Unit 2 are each recorded as ‘satisfactory’ or ‘unsatisfactory’. Credit only accrues for each of
Units 1 and 2 if there is ‘satisfactory’ completion.

Units 3 and 4 are graded together as a pair at the end of the course, using A–E grades.

Students must accrue at least 12 credits from completed Core courses. Students must study a Core course from
beginning to end to contribute to the 12 credits. For General or Applied subjects, this means studying all four units
with an achievement of a C or better for the combined Unit 3 and 4 pair. For VET qualifications, this means completing
a Certificate II or higher.

Relaxation of the completed core requirement will automatically apply for students who change from one Maths
subject to another, or one English subject to another.
