Given the broad range of accredited and non-accredited programs offered by the College the fees and subsidies will vary depending on the course.

Credit Transfer
Am I Eligible for Credit Transfers?
Credit Transfer (CT) is granted as a result of identifying learning outcomes already achieved through formal training. Credit outcomes may allow for entry into a qualification and/or provide credit towards the qualification. Credit Transfer given may reduce the time required for you to achieve the qualification.
To apply for Credit Transfer you will need to provide original or certified copies of certificates previously attained through formal training prior to completing the enrolment process.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is granted as a result of identifying and assessing previous and current informal education and training, work experience and/or life experience and knowledge. Previous learning and the evidence supplied is measured against pre-determined performance standards contained within the Units of Competency.
To apply for recognition of prior learning you should indicate your decision to apply for recognition as soon as possible after enrolment and the induction program.
We will be happy to provide you with an RPL kit after speaking directly with you to ensure you understand the requirements of this process.
