Special Consideration – Certificate II or higher WACE requirement for Year 12 students bulk application process.

Special Consideration – Certificate II or higher WACE requirement for Year 12 students bulk application process.

Schools may apply for Special Consideration on behalf of multiple students when their WACE achievement has been adversely affected by complications with an RTO partnership through a bulk application process.

Bulk applications for special consideration should be used as a last resort for students who have been affected by complications with an RTO partnership, or RTO certification and resulting processes.

Bulk applications for special consideration must be emailed to certification@scsa.wa.edu.au by no later than 31 October 2016, unless otherwise approved by the Director, Standards and Certification.

Access to the relevant special consideration form and more information can be located on the Authority website under Forms > Application and Order Forms > Special Considerations at the following link: http://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/forms/forms

Important note: In the situation where an RTO’s registration or scope of delivery has been impacted, schools will need to apply to the Authority for WACE recognition of previous or current year full qualifications that have already been reported in SIRS in the affected qualifications. Upon approval of an application for special consideration, the unit equivalence for the affected qualifications will be allocated as per the normal VET credit arrangements for WACE and the Certificate II or higher minimum requirement deemed to be met; however, the achievement will not appear on the Western Australian Statement of Student Achievement (WASSA).
