Training Accreditation Council Update – Advice to RTOs in Granting Credit to Learners for Superseded Equivalent Units of Competency

5/10/2022

On 8 September 2022, the Council endorsed the following advice for RTOs on granting credit to learners for superseded equivalent units of competency[1]:

RTOs can award credit using the ‘equivalent’ determination where the unit of competency already attained by the learner immediately precedes the unit for which credit transfer will be awarded
Where an award of credit is sought for unit/s of competency that have been superseded twice or more (e.g. there is a unit interceding):
- the RTO must conduct a mapping process to confirm no gaps exist in the training and assessment requirements between the unit already attained by the learner and the unit for which the learner seeks an award of credit; and
- where a mapping process identifies gaps in the training and assessment requirements, no award of credit can be provided.

To further support the sector, TAC will update education materials to reflect this advice. If you have any questions or would like further advice, please contact the TAC Secretariat on (08) 9224 6510 or [email protected].
