Ranks from Additional Qualifications
For some of these qualifications it is possible for students to be allocated a rank by QTAC in addition to their OP or OP ineligible rank. However, whether the rank from the additional qualifications is used in preference to the OP or OP-ineligible rank will depend on institutional policy. The applicant should contact the admissions office of the relevant institution for advice. The QTAC Guide also provides information about the assessment of these qualifications, schedules used and the specific institution policies in regard to these schedules.
Providing Information to QTAC
If you have additional qualifications that you would like considered by QTAC, you would indicate this in your Twelve-to-Tertiary online application. There will be a question asking if you have any Additional qualifications for QTAC to assess. If the qualification will be recorded on your Senior Statement there is no need to send anything to QTAC as we will receive the information automatically through the Queensland Studies Authority or equivalent authority interstate.
If the qualification is not recorded on your Senior Statement, such as evidence of completion of your traineeship or apprenticeship, you should submit an Additional Documentation for Current Internal Year 12 Students form to QTAC with the relevant documentation attached. You will be prompted to print this form upon lodgement of your TTT application online. You will need to provide a certified copy of your original documents to QTAC as soon as possible.
