Study pathways

Students

Know how to have your skills and knowledge recognised

Pathways, articulation, credit transfer, mutual recognition, recognition of current competencies or admission with advanced standing are terms with similar meaning — recognition of previous relevant study or work experience.

Being acknowledged for your prior study or work experience may reduce the duration of a program and save you money.

Recognition can work in two ways. Completed or partly completed TAFE qualifications can be credited towards a degree; or other TAFE program; likewise, partly completed degree studies may be credited to a TAFE program.

Students may negotiate individual credit transfers with the relevant program coordinator.* Further information about gaining credit for previous study and experience.

*Note: special conditions may apply for some programs.
