QCE Handbook - Queensland Studies Authority

Evidence of learning
Evidence is the record of the learning from the project and, in particular, the demonstrated
employability and lifelong learning skills throughout the project. This is recorded in Part B of
the Evidence of learning form, the learning log. The Evidence of learning form is found on
the QSA website .
Information about completing the learning log is found in the guide, Learning projects:
Collecting and recording evidence, on the QSA website .
Evidence of learning must be submitted within 18 months of approval, and by the last day
of Term 3 in the year the learner intends to receive their QCE.
6.6 Amending an approved learning project
If a learning project needs to be amended, the learner must:
• apply to the QSA in writing
• submit an amended learning project proposal that highlights the changes
• provide a copy of the original approved learning project
• give an explanation for changing the learning project.
The amended learning project proposal must be approved before implementation by the
learner. If implementation of the original learning project has already begun, then:
• the combined implementation of the approved and amended learning project must not
be less than 40 hours
• implementation of the amended learning project must be no less than 30 hours.
6.7 Re-engagement strategy
A learning project can be used as part of a strategy for re-engagement of a learner who is
disengaged or at risk of disengagement. The decision to initiate and implement a learning
project rests with the sponsor, in consultation with the learner, their parents and work
experience providers (if relevant). Such decisions must be in accordance with the
Education (Work Experience) Act 2006.
In this situation, the sponsor is deemed to be the provider, and the learning project result
will be attributed to the sponsor. This means that each learning project type (Workplace,
Community or Self-directed) can be used only once for each learner as a re-engagement
strategy. The learning project requirements are otherwise unchanged by use of this option.
6.8 Appeals
If a learner wishes to appeal a decision made by the QSA, they must write to the Director of
the QSA requesting a review of the decision. The learner should discuss this option with
their mentor and sponsor before making a request.
