SACE Operations

The SACE Operations pages contain important information for SACE coordinators and school administrators about the day-to-day functioning of the SACE.

To make it easier to find what you're looking for, operational information is available in four ways:

  1. a PDF of the entire SACE Operations Manual [PDF]
  2. in the document folders at the bottom of this page, where you will find all of the Operations Manual Information Sheets and Forms listed in alphabetical order
  3. on the Key Operational Topics page, where SACE Operations information is categorised by operational theme
  4. on the Subject Operations page where subject operational material (previously found in Learning Area Manuals) is categorised by learning area.

NT Certificate of Education and Training

Information about the NTCET, including policies, forums and results information, can be found on the Department of Education and Children's Services website.

Audio and video support materials

A series of new presentations (with audio podcasts) have been produced to support SACE coordinators and teachers. See Advice on preparing materials.
