Credit Transfer

Credit transfer is a formal agreement between institutions recognising successful completion of particular subjects, competencies, modules, or awards. Successful completion of specified SACE units or VET competencies/modules may entitle a student to claim credit in particular TAFE courses. Information about credit transfer is available at TAFE SA: Credit transfer.

Further information should be obtained during course counselling and information sessions. Evidence of successful completion of SACE units or VET competencies/modules is required at the time of enrolment (ie SACE Record of Achievement and/or academic record/certificate).

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

TAFE recognises that people learn and achieve competencies through a variety of experiences, including life experience, work experience (both paid and unpaid), as well as formal and informal training and education. Information about RPL is available at TAFE SA: Recognition of Prior Learning.

Students are encouraged to seek recognition of their prior learning or existing skills by providing evidence of the particular skills and knowledge covered by a competency or module. The granting of RPL will exempt them from repeating work unnecessarily.
