REGISTRATION INTO FURTHER TRAINING
Within the vocational education and training (VET) sector, nationally recognised qualifications are equally recognised. For example: if a student graduates with a Diploma qualification from QDPA, then transfers interstate and wants to continue to work towards an Advanced Diploma, credit (or advanced standing) should be given for equivalent competencies already achieved.
To enter into an undergraduate degree level course for higher education studies, students will essentially contact the relevant university/ies and apply on an individual basis for credit and/or advanced standing.
