What is an ATAR?
What is the TCE?
What is the TCEA?
The Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE)
This is a significant qualification after Year 10 that is being increasingly sought by employers. Students planning a University pathway need to have gained their TCE in order to receive an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) score.
How do you qualify?
This is a qualification that informs employers and the community that you have completed two years of full-time study after Year 10 and have achieved minimum standards in literacy, numeracy and ICT. You will attain the TCE if your course contains subjects that allow you to gain the necessary credit points and demonstrate the literacy, numeracy and ICT standards. You must also complete Career and Life Planning 2. For more information on how you can qualify for the TCE check out the TASC website: https://www.tasc.tas.gov.au
THE TCE DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU FOR UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE. AN ATAR IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PURPOSE.
Working it all out
When you enrol, counsellors will help you with your subject choice so that you can gain this qualification.
