Credit transfer
An institute may grant credit transfer where there is documentary evidence that equivalent competencies/learning outcomes have been achieved in a course of study with another organisation. Credit transfer may be granted where there is parity of training outcomes/competencies. If content specialists are concerned about the currency of competencies the student is required to undergo a process of RPL, at which time they would enrol and pay fees.
Currency of competency held is an essential criterion in the determination of whether a credit transfer is undertaken. Currency will be determined by the institute's Content Specialist, based on his/her knowledge of current industry practices.
Applicants will need to complete an EV351 "Application for Advanced Standing - Other than Recognition of Prior Learning" form available from the enrolments centre.
Where competency was achieved in another course of study within TAFE Queensland, the student no longer needs to apply for a credit transfer. The recognition will be given automatically at either the time of enrolment or during the eligibility checking process.
However, some old transitions will need to be entered manually still, using the EV351 "Application for Advanced Standing - Other than Recognition of Prior Learning" form.
If the student has previously received a credit transfer for a particular module or competency under one course, and that module or competency is part of another course, then it will automatically be recognised at the time of enrolment or at the eligibility checking stage.
No fees are payable for credit transfer.
Credit transfer cannot be given for a whole course. The student must achieve competency in at least one unit of competency through normal enrolment or through the RPL process.
