Advice on Preparing Materials

The South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) is designed to provide a range of options for students who want a more direct path into the workforce.
The SACE remains the main credential for entry into university and TAFE. Students wanting to gain entry to university will still need to complete the correct combination of subjects required for an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) and any pre-requisite subjects stipulated by the university course for which they are applying. More details on tertiary entrance requirements can be found in the University and TAFE Entry section.
The SACE also offers senior secondary students a wide range of accredited activities through which to achieve their SACE, including school subjects, TAFE and non-TAFE training courses, university subjects, online courses, regular experience in a work environment, and community-based activities. Young people are able to leave school well on the way to a trade or para-professional qualification.
Students who are active in their community gain valuable work and citizenship skills and the SACE enables them to count certain forms of community learning towards their SACE. This may include recognised volunteer training such as Country Fire Service training, or the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. It may also include work experience and other roles such as being a caregiver or volunteering for a community service organisation.
