Students who choose Accounting have the opportunity to gain up to 14 points towards their QCE. This will be made up of:

• 4 points – by passing Accounting (Authority subject)
• 2 points – by completing the QUT subject BSB110 Accounting

plus

• 2 points – by simply passing Accounting at school, TAFE recognises that students have already completed 1/3 of the Diploma of Accounting, or 
• 8 points – by gaining credit transfer for Certificate III Financial Services (Accounts Clerical), and completing the Certificate at BNIT*
