BSB30120 Certificate III in Business (AI)

Credit transfer is a process of recognition whereby the learner has advised the college that they have already completed a unit of competency/s and have been awarded an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) certification, eliminating the need to repeat formal learning and assessment.

Credit transfer (CT) uses formal evidence such as a Statement of Attainment (SOA) or qualification and Statement of Results from a current Registered Training Organisation (RTO) before commencing their training with the College.

Learners are required to complete a CT application form and return it with a copy of their certificate/SOA via email to enquiries@accsc.com.au.

Once received, the College will verify with the issuing RTO, and in some instances the learner can give the College permission to access their USI Registry information to confirm available credit transfers.

If approved, a credit is awarded.

Learners should be aware that should their previous RTO no longer be current or has been deregulated, additional correspondence with our regulatory body, ASQA, may be required.

Learners should also be aware that should ASQA have issued an intent to cancel qualification notice to learners if their previous RTO has been closed due to non compliance it is likely that the learner will not be issued with a Credit Transfer for those units as adequate training can not be determined.

In order to be awarded Credit Transfer, the learner is required to indicate on their enrolment form if they would like to apply for Credit Transfer and submit copies of the relevant Statement of Attainment or qualification and Statement of Results.

All learners must give the College permission to complete a verification of AQF certification with the issuing RTO prior to Credit Transfer being awarded.

Where verification cannot be obtained from the issuing RTO or the USI Registry, Credit Transfer will not be awarded.

Where AQF certification cannot be verified, either through the issuing RTO (as a result of closure of the business) or the USI Registry, learners will need to contact the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) to gain confirmation of the awarding of the certification. Charges apply. Refer to www.ASQA.gov.au for further information.

To ensure the integrity of the Vocational Education and Training sector, the AQF specifies strict protocols for the protection of certification to be applied by Registered Training Organisations offering nationally recognised training. These protocols include requirements for RTOs to use forms of protection on all certification documents to minimise fraudulent copying or reproduction. Where the issuing RTO confirms to the College that it did not award the AQF certification, the application for Credit Transfer will be refused.
