Students have the opportunity to inspect or request a copy of written examination material.
Students can take Everyday adult standard safety net tests to achieve three of the TCE standards if they are not completing TASC accredited courses, identified VET courses or other TASC recognised formal learning qualifications to show that they meet the standards. These can be sat at one of the TASC approved testing centres. These centres set their own fees and eligibility guidelines.
Schools are charged a fee of $25.00 per TCE everyday adult standard safety net test supplied to them by TASC (includes the cost of regular postage), with the exception of the online version of the Everyday adult use of computers and the internet standard safety net test which is free. If you choose to have the tests sent via express post there will be an additional charge of $12.95 per request.
Each year TASC collects from schools a fee for each full-fee paying international student (500 Visa) enrolled in one or more TASC senior secondary courses.
TASC charges fees for services provided for international students, under Section 11(d) the Office of Tasmanian Assessment, Standards and Certification Act 2003.
The fee is payable for a student who has participated in one or more TASC accredited course, including courses that are not externally assessed (or completed) and who is enrolled on 1 September.
Data identifying full-fee paying students from overseas registered to Tasmanian schools/colleges, is sourced from the Provider Registration and International Student Management System (PRISMS).
The 2021 fee is $414.83, exclusive of GST, for each student.
