Interstate & Overseas Secondary School Qualifications

Students can gain a maximum of 130 credits for an interstate or overseas qualification.

Students who have completed a full Australian or overseas senior secondary program considered the equivalent of Stage 1 will be granted up to 110 credits at Stage 1: 

  • 70 credits
  • 20 credits for meeting the literacy requirement
  • 10 credits for meeting the numeracy requirement
  • 10 credits for the Personal Learning Plan.

These students must demonstrate that they have met the literacy and numeracy requirements from the range of options described in the SACE Accreditation, Recognition, and Certification Policy.

Students who enrol during Year 11 (Stage 1) may apply for some credits at Stage 1. The equivalent of one semester of Stage 1 study will be granted a maximum of 50 credits. Such students must complete the Personal Learning Plan and demonstrate that they have met the literacy and numeracy requirements.

Overseas students who begin their Stage 1 studies in Semester 2, who have a Visa Class 571 with an expiry date less than 24 months from the commencement of the SACE, will be granted recognition against the Personal Learning Plan.

Students with partially completed Year 12 senior secondary school certificates from other states* may apply for credits at Stage 2 level; however, scores cannot be credited. Recognition will not be granted for the Research Project (Stage 2) or for the compulsory element of 60 credits at Stage 2 level.

*Eg. the Victorian Certificate of Education, the Tasmanian Certificate of Education, or the New South Wales Higher School Certificate.
