Achievement Standards Statement
The achievement standards statement provided for each course gives curriculum linking statements for homeschool educators to demonstrate how their child’s learning meets recognised educational aims and standards. These links are a simple example and can be expanded on through the child’s own task choices.
By providing linking statements for learning outcomes, parents can be confident that their child’s learning addresses key areas such as history, geography, science, and technologies, as well as general capabilities like critical thinking and ethical understanding.
When preparing learning reports for homeschool moderators, referencing these outcome statements allows parents to clearly show how their child’s learning is aligned with recognised educational goals and how progress through their states curriculum is being made.
Additionally, moderators can see that the child has engaged with content that develops essential skills and knowledge in a structured manner. Furthermore, these alignments can help parents decide which courses to pursue by highlighting areas that need further development or enrichment.
Final Quiz and Certificates
At the end of each course, members will need to take a final quiz. These quizzes have a 70% pass mark and ask questions which related to the course content. These quizzes are not intended to be stressful or apply undue pressure, they are simply another opportunity to review and consolidate learning, therefore they can be taken an unlimited number of times. Upon successful completion of the course and the quiz, members will receive a personalised course completion certificate and a quiz certificate to add to their learning portfolio, celebrating their achievement.
Quiz Certificates: Quiz certificates will be generated when the user has achieved a score of 70%. You can download and print immediately or retrieve at a later date from your profile. To do so, find the course using the search function and expand using the blue arrow on the right. You will see a grey “certificate icon” on the quiz record that achieved a pass.
Course Certificates: To download your course completion certificate, head to your profile page and search for the course using the spyglass image which is the search function. When your course appears it will state complete and show a square certificate icon (see image below) which you can click to retrieve your certificate.

FAQs
Can I use Empowered Edu outside Australia?
Absolutely! Empowered Edu can be accessed from anywhere in the world. While our courses are designed with the Australian curriculum in mind, the flexible learning approach and a wide range of topics make it suitable for learners globally. You can adapt the resources to fit your local educational standards and learning goals, no matter where you’re located.
How much time do I need to spend on Empowered Edu each day?
Empowered Edu is completely flexible! There are no strict time requirements. You and your child can spend as much or as little time as you like each day, allowing you to tailor the experience to fit your schedule. Whether it’s a few minutes or a few hours, the platform is designed to support your child’s learning journey at their own pace.
How much adult input is required?
The level of adult input depends on your child’s needs, for instance, children may require help with reading, task supervision or assistance with completion, scribing etc.
While Empowered Edu is designed to be user-friendly and encourages independent learning, there are also plenty of opportunities for adults to guide, support, or join in when needed. Whether your child works independently or you prefer a more hands-on approach, the choice is yours.
Why don’t you tell us EXACTLY what to do with task options?
At Empowered Edu, we believe in fostering independence and creativity in learning. Instead of prescribing exact steps, we offer open-ended task options to give your child the freedom to explore topics in ways that suit their interests and learning style. This approach encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making, all of which are essential skills for lifelong learning.
By not telling you exactly what to do, we create room for personalised learning, allowing each child to take charge of their educational journey. Empowered Edu is a “choose your own adventure” platform, where the focus is on developing confidence, curiosity, and the ability to adapt, rather than simply following instructions. This way, learners can discover what works best for them while still achieving key educational outcomes.
Do you provide worksheets for the courses?
At this time, we don’t produce worksheets in the usual sense, though we would like to explore this in the future. Instead we provide research questions for our courses and templates for completing tasks such as timeline templates, report templates etc. Template resources are all optional use and require printing, they can be located in the blog section or occasionally via buttons embedded in courses where relevant.
What supplies do I need?
Empowered Edu keeps it simple! Most courses only require basic supplies such as paper, pens, craft materials or everyday household items. Occasionally a task may require a specific piece of equipment, however, to maintain accessibility multiple task options are available. Therefore you don’t need to make additional purchases if you are unable to.
For tasks that require some element of graphic design, a free canva account would be a great place to start.
How will my child meet their curriculum aims and advance their skillset with Empowered Edu?
Empowered Edu is designed to align with key educational outcomes, helping your child meet their curriculum goals in a flexible and personalised way. Our platform covers a wide range of topics and subjects that support essential skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and research-based learning.
By offering a diverse array of courses and allowing children to explore topics at their own pace, Empowered Edu encourages self-directed learning, which helps build confidence and independence. The variety of tasks and activities, including hands-on projects, quizzes, and research guides, provide ample opportunities for skill development across multiple areas.
Whether your child is working towards specific curriculum outcomes or simply broadening their knowledge, Empowered Edu ensures they have the tools and opportunities to advance their skillset in a supportive, learner-centered environment.
Do I receive a qualification for these courses?
While our courses do not provide formal qualifications, members will receive a completion certificate for each course. These certificates can be added to your child’s learning portfolio as a way to celebrate their progress and achievements.
Can you register my child for homeschooling?
No, Empowered Edu does not handle homeschooling registration. However, our platform offers a wealth of educational resources that can be used as part of your homeschooling plan. We encourage you to check with your local education authorities for specific homeschooling requirements.
Are you a school?
Empowered Edu is not a school. We are an educational resource platform that supports learning in a flexible and engaging way. We provide an alternative to formal schooling style models leaning more into the spirit of homeschooling, and therefore focus on self-directed learning, research, and exploration, without the rigid structures of a typical classroom setting or prescribed one-size-fits-all style curriculum.
Is Empowered Edu an online-only model of learning?
While Empowered Edu provides a range of online resources, it is not limited to just digital learning. Many of our courses include hands-on activity suggestions as well as research questions which can be answered using online research or book research. By offering a range of options we see to empower all styles of learners ensuring there is an option of everyone to enrich their educational journey. Our flexible approach allows learners to combine online lessons with real-world experiences, making it a blended learning model that supports both online and offline learning.
