Comment: The one independent ABC News source isn't in depth about the diploma. IgelRM (talk) 11:24, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

The Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA) is the high school graduation diploma awarded to students whose education follows an individualised learning plan. Students who work towards the attainment of a QCIA cannot work towards the attainment of a Queensland Certificate of Education.^[1]

Students with disabilities are not automatically eligible to work towards a QCIA. ^[2]

The QCIA provides students with an overview statement of their skills, so that when they graduate, they have something to present to prospective employers or training providers.^[3]

877 graduates exited high school with a QCIA in 2016. This is an increase from the previous year, where 743 students graduated with a QCIA.^[4]
