Schedule of Qualification Categories

Faculty Certificates

Faculty Certificates are faculty qualification categories and the naming of certificates (eg. executive, professional, qualifying, faculty) is the responsibility of the faculties concerned.

Entrance Level

The normal admission requirement for a Faculty Certificate is satisfactory completion of a Year 12 Certificate or equivalent.   All Faculty Certificates allow Recognition of Prior Learning in ways determined by the relevant Faculty. 

Duration

All Faculty Certificates comprise 24 credit points of University subjects.

Exit Standard

All Faculty Certificates allow people eligibility for entry to diplomas (postgraduate, graduate or undergraduate) in ways specified by individual faculties and approved by the Education Committee in the context of admission requirements for the relevant diplomas.

Certificates which contain subjects at an academic level below that of the relevant diploma, if passed at credit level or above, would allow entry into the diploma but would not permit credit to be granted for the subjects taken within the certificate.

Certificates which contain subjects of the same academic level or higher than the relevant diploma, if passed at credit level or above, would allow entry to the diploma with credit, provided the subjects in the certificate are equivalent to any of those in the relevant diploma.
