Educational Pathways

Educational Pathways

If you have relevant formal education or industry experience then you may be eligible for advanced standing towards your chosen degree.

ACPE is committed to individual assessment of possible advanced standing to ensure an ideal student outcome that minimises duplication of learning while ensuring essential course and life skills are obtained. Research shows that this sets students up for successful academic performance when commencing with advanced standing.

Here are some common examples of relevant previous study and professional experience that may lead to advanced standing towards your chosen degree.

  • VET studies (Certificate IV, Diploma, Advanced Diploma), partial or complete, undertaken within the past eight years with a registered training organisation
  • Higher Education studies, partial or complete, undertaken within the past eight years through a University or private HE provider
  • Work activity in a relevant industry that can be demonstrated with tangible evidence from within the last eight years
  • Qualifications that may have been completed more than eight years ago with relevant activity in the industry within the last eight years to demonstrate currency of knowledge
