Non-Board Developed course data
This data reports on the number of students who completed a Non-Board Developed HSC course in 2025. View the breakdown of students by gender.
About the data
Non-Board Developed courses are developed outside of NESA. Before they can be taught in schools, NESA must endorse these courses.
A course name may appear more than once with the same years to complete and units. This is to accommodate students studying different levels of a qualification or version of a qualification or course combination.
This data is taken from 19 January 2026.
