YOUR EXPERIENCE COUNTS
There may be another way in.
If your school results do not match the standard route, speak to us before ruling yourself out. These pathways are considered individually.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Relevant work experience and prior learning can be assessed under the College’s RPL policy. You may be asked for a CV, certificates and evidence of your skills.
Mature age consideration
Applicants aged 23 or older may be considered for conditional admission to a Higher Certificate or Diploma. The admissions team will explain the assessment and what evidence to submit.
