International Big Picture Learning Credential, IBPLC
The International Big Picture Learning Credential is a new, personalised form of assessment. It evaluates and recognises the capacities, experiences and qualities of secondary school graduates from diverse cultures and backgrounds more comprehensively than exam-based certification systems.
Unlike other forms of assessment, no attempt is made to rank or scale students against each other. Their achievements are judged on demonstrations and observations of performance throughout their schooling against six specially constructed assessment frames in the areas of: Knowing how to learn, Empirical reasoning, Quantitative reasoning, Social reasoning, Communication and Personal qualities.
The IBPLC pathway to university
The International Big Picture Learning Credential (IBPLC) offers a rigorous non-ATAR pathway from secondary to tertiary study that is currently accepted by 17 universities around Australia, including the Australian National University (ANU), University of Technology Sydney (UTS), University of Wollongong (UoW) and Western Sydney University (WSU).
The credential is warranted by the University of Melbourne and hosted on the UAC platform Credfolio.
