QCIA registration and learning accounts
Queensland law requires young people to be earning or learning until they turn 17. Young Queenslanders must be registered with the QSA during Year 10 or in the 12 months prior to turning 16, whichever comes first. Young people from other states or overseas can be registered after completing Year 10 or turning 16. Generally schools register young people in Year 10.
Who registers young people
Young people are registered by their main learning provider: schools (state or non-state), registered training organisations (e.g. TAFE) or other approved organisations. In most cases, schools register young people.
The Director-General of the Department of Education, Training and the Arts can register students who undertake home schooling and in certain other situations.
How young people are registered - learning accounts
The learning provider submits a young person's details through the QSA's Registration and Banking System. An Intended Learning Option (ILO) must be entered to complete registration.
When a student is registered, the QSA opens a learning account for them. The student is assigned a learner unique identifier (LUI) and password so they can access their web-based account through the Career Information Service website.
Account activity
Students who have achievements from the QCE areas of learning will have these recorded in their learning account. A transcript of this learning will be provided in a Senior Statement, at the end of Year 12.

Details of registration policies and procedures are available in the QCIA Handbook.
