QCE credit and Duplication of Learning

TRAINING PACKAGES AND APPLIED SUBJECTS

Students cannot study the following subjects together, as they will not maximise credit points:  Certificate II Visual Arts and Visual Arts In Practice  Certificate II Sport and Recreation / Certificate III Sport and Recreation and Sport and Recreation (Applied) / Sports Academy  Certificate II Sport and Recreation / Certificate III Fitness and Sport and Recreation (Applied) / Sports Academy Contribution of TAFE courses and School Based Traineeships/Apprenticeships will also have to be taken into account for crossover of Training Packages or Applied Subjects.

Training Packages

As a range of training packages duplicate core units across qualifications, to accrue full QCE credit, 90% of a qualification must be new learning. Up to 10% of units of competency within a qualification can be reported as credit transfer with no impact on QCE credit accrued.
