Credit transfer arrangements

Credit Transfer from school to TAFE

If you have successfully completed your Higher School Certificate you may be able to get advanced standing in TAFE NSW courses. There are more than 38 HSC subjects that can give you advanced standing in more than 120 TAFE NSW courses. Information is available from the HSC/TAFE Credit Transfer website

Please note: Credit Transfer does not give automatic entry into a TAFE NSW course

Credit transfer from TAFE to HSC

Courses satisfactorily completed in TAFE NSW or other recognised post-secondary institutions may provide credit in the form of units of study towards the Preliminary and/or HSC study pattern required for the HSC, up to a maximum of 10 units (6 Preliminary and 4 HSC).

Credit transfer from ACE to TAFE

When you complete certain courses or competencies with training providers in the Adult & Community Education (ACE) sector, you could be eligible for advanced standing in many different TAFE NSW courses. ACE also provides a growing number of national competencies that are recognised by TAFE NSW.

Credit transfer within TAFE

When you enrol in a new course at TAFE NSW you can be given advanced standing for courses or competencies that you have finished previously. You will need to present transcripts or certificates when you apply. You will need to discuss this with your Head Teacher. Visit http://www.tafensw.edu.au/eservices for more information.

Credit Transfer from TAFE to University

Credit transfer arrangements are now in place for more than 100 TAFE NSW courses into 700 university courses. As a result, many TAFE NSW graduates may now gain advanced standing towards a university program. Credit transfer from TAFE to the higher education sector varies so you should contact the university you wish to enter to get more information.
