Frequently Asked Questions
The Higher School Certificate (HSC) is the credential awarded to students in New South Wales (NSW) who successfully complete Year 12. It is the most recognised senior secondary credential in Australia and is accepted by universities, employers, and institutions across the country. Each Australian state and territory has its own equivalent — including VCE (Victoria), QCE (Queensland), SACE (South Australia), and WACE (Western Australia).
Each Australian state and territory issues its own senior secondary certificate through its education authority. The HSC (NSW) and VCE (Victoria) are the most widely known. QCE is issued in Queensland, SACE in South Australia, WACE in Western Australia, TCE in Tasmania, NTCE in the Northern Territory, and BSSS (ACT Senior Secondary Certificate) in the Australian Capital Territory. While the names and assessment frameworks differ, all are nationally recognised credentials for Year 12 completion.
Senior secondary education in Australia is administered at the state and territory level, with each jurisdiction running its own curriculum authority — such as NESA (NSW), VCAA (Victoria), or QCAA (Queensland). As a result, each state issues its own distinctively named and designed certificate. Our state-specific templates are built to reflect each jurisdiction's official style, including correct certificate names, layout conventions, and design elements, while remaining fully editable for commemorative, keepsake, or school use.
Yes — every template on this page is fully editable online using our free certificate editor. You can change the student's name, graduation year, school name, subject scores, authorising signatures, and more. No design software, account, or technical skills are needed. Simply click "Edit Free" on any template to open the editor in your browser.
Our online editor loads directly in your browser with no downloads or plugins required. All editable fields are clearly highlighted — click any field to type your details, upload a school logo or signature, and preview your design in real time. The editor works on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Editing is completely free; you only pay when you are ready to download your finished certificate.
Once your design is ready, click the Download button in the editor. You can choose a Web Version (72 DPI PNG, watermark-free) for digital sharing, or a Print Pack (300 DPI PDF, PNG & JPG) for high-quality printing or framing. Payment is made securely at checkout and your files are available immediately — no waiting.
A typical Australian senior secondary certificate includes the student's full name, the name of their school, the year of completion, the credential name (e.g. HSC, VCE, QCE), the issuing authority, and authorising signatures or a state seal. Some certificates also list individual subject results or ATAR scores. All of these fields are editable in our templates.
