The Intermediate Certificate was a certificate awarded in Australia for the successful completion of three years of high school.[1] This was at around age 14 — what is called Year 9 today. Currently students in New South Wales can leave school at age 15. Apparently this has been the case since 1943.[2] A student who wanted to enter University also needed a Leaving certificate, for the completion of another two years.[1] Both were based on external examinations. The Intermediate Certificate was abolished in the 1960s.[3]
