Credit transfers

If you have a Statement of Attainment, Statement of Results, Academic History etc, showing modules/ competencies achieved, you may be entitled to "credit transfers". Certified copies of the results must be submitted before the credit transfer can be granted. Work Skills acknowledges and adheres unconditionally to Mutual Recognition.

Recognition applies nationally and means:

	The recognition by all State and Territory registering/course accrediting bodies of the national endorsements of Training Packages as notified in the National Training Information Service (NTIS).
	The recognition and acceptance by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) of Australian Qualifications Framework qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by other RTOs, enabling individuals to receive national recognition of their achievements.
	The Registered Training Organisation is obligated to recognise AQF qualifications and statement of attainments issued by other Registered Training Organisations.

The process to apply for a credit transfer is as follows:

	If you believe you are entitled to a credit transfer, speak with your Work Skills Consultant on enrollment. They will ask for evidence by way of your statement of attainment, statement of results, qualifications, etc.
	You will be required to provide Work Skills with a JP certified copy of the evidence for your Student file. A Credit Transfer cannot be provided without this evidence.
	Your evidence will be checked for validity, currency, authenticity and accuracy and mapped against the current qualification to ensure the credit transfer is applicable. If applicable, your credit transfer will be recognised and you will be signed off as a "Credit Transfer" on your training plan for those units.

Pre-vocational courses

If you have completed a pre-vocational course, you may gain credit when you commence a relevant apprenticeship. Credit for pre-vocational courses is usually given as 'time' credit, which reduces the duration of the apprenticeship. You may also not have to complete the training identified for wage level 1 of the apprenticeship. Pre-vocational credits do not apply to traineeships.
