The Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) is issued by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) and includes various security features to ensure authenticity. Verification of a WACE certificate is crucial for educational institutions, employers, and government agencies.

Online Verification through SCSA Portal

The official way to verify a WACE certificate is through the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) website.

• Step 1: Visit the official SCSA website (www.scsa.wa.edu.au).
• Step 2: Go to the WACE Verification section.
• Step 3: Enter the student’s WACE Number and Date of Birth.
• Step 4: Submit the request, and the system will display the certificate details for verification.

Verification through ICAE (for Indian Schools & Students)

For students and schools in India, ICAE provides an additional support system for WACE verification.

• Step 1: Contact ICAE’s Verification Department with the student’s WACE Number and a scanned copy of the certificate.
• Step 2: ICAE will cross-check the details with the official SCSA database.
• Step 3: Within a few working days, ICAE will confirm whether the certificate is genuine or not.
• Step 4: The school or institution will receive an official verification confirmation from ICAE.

Physical Document Authentication

WACE certificates come with security features to prevent forgery. When verifying a physical certificate, check for:

• Official WACE logo & watermark – Present on all genuine certificates.
• Unique WACE Number – Assigned to each student.
• Holographic Security Seal – Prevents duplication.
• Authorized Signature – Must be signed by the SCSA official.

If any of these features do not match, the document should be verified through the official portal or ICAE

Employer & University Verification

• Universities and employers can request direct verification from SCSA or ICAE.
• Institutions should request the student to provide a WACE certificate copy along with a WACE Number.
• ICAE can assist schools in India by liaising with Australian authorities for official confirmation.

ICAE’s Role in WACE Verification

• Assistance for Indian Schools & Students – Ensuring smooth verification for academic and job applications.
• Guidance on Official Verification Process – Helping institutions and employers verify credentials.
• Fraud Prevention & Security Checks – Protecting against fake or altered certificates.

Conclusion

WACE verification ensures that students hold genuine Australian qualifications. With ICAE’s assistance, Indian schools and students can easily verify their WACE credentials, ensuring smooth academic and professional progress.
