RPL and credit transfer and the HSC examination

ACE 8049

Last Updated: 14 December 2011

Students may only enter for the HSC examination for VET Industry Curriculum Framework courses if they are studying or have already completed the corresponding 240-hour course.

Students who have been granted credit through RPL or credit transfer for some or all units of competency in an Industry Curriculum Framework course will still be eligible to enter for the HSC examination provided they have met the requirements of the respective 240-hour course.

It is the responsibility of the school/RTO delivering the HSC course to support HSC examination preparation for students who enter for the HSC examination and who have been granted credit through RPL or credit transfer for some or all examinable units of competency.
