Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning

RMIT University offers Credit Transfer, Recognition of Prior Learning and Recognition of Current Competency, to recognise the skills you may have gained through formal and informal education and training, work experience and/or life experience including volunteer work, committee responsibilities, family duties and hobbies.

Why apply for credit?

If you apply for credit and your application is successful, you may reduce your fees, the overall length of time to complete a program or receive a full qualification (award) based on your previous experience. You may simply want some formal recognition of your skills, by gaining credit in individual TAFE modules.

Costs

The costs may vary depending on the type of credit you apply for and how many courses or modules you wish to be credited. More information is available on each application form.

How to apply

If you believe you are eligible for Credit Transfer or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), an application should be lodged with the relevant RMIT school.

Please carefully read the information for each level of study and the description of each type of credit before choosing the appropriate application form.
