Some school subjects can give credit towards TAFE NSW qualification. This means students may be able to decrease the number of units and study time required to complete their course.
School subjects that may be recognised include:
TVET studies (i.e. nationally recognised units from Training Packages or Accredited Courses)
HSC subjects developed by the NSW Education Standards Authority. These subjects include a range of industry areas and you will need to show that you have successfully completed them in the last five years. You will also need to discuss with TAFE NSW staff what credit they may grant towards your desired course.
Students may also be able to use their previous study and other evidence of their knowledge, skills and experience to gain Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for credit towards their course. With RPL students formal and informal learning are individually assessed to see whether they meet competency standards.
