It is important that the VET Qualification Results (RSQUAL) file is uploaded to the Student Information Records System (SIRS) at the end of each calendar.

The information in the RSQUAL file is used to allocate unit equivalents towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) and to determine that a student has met the Certificate II or higher requirement.

Failure to upload this file may result in students not achieving their WACE and they may be considered ineligible for first round offers for entry into university and Technical and Further Education (TAFE) courses.

Further information on the RSQUAL file is available in Section 12 of the Data Procedures Manual 2026 at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/data-procedures-manual.
