Credit Transfer

‘Credit Transfer’ (CT) is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit
outcomes for components of a qualification based on identified equivalence in contact and
learning outcomes between matched qualifications.

The process of transferring credit from a previously obtained unit of competency into a unit of competency the student is enrolling into represents the granting of exemption or credit by SCM to students for units of competency completed under accredited training. These unit codes must identically match the units that you are applying for credit. Where the unit code is not identical, the student is to be referred to the Compliance Manager for further discussion.

SCM’s Credit Transfer Policy on applying for credit transfer can be located on our website.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)Prior to commencement, a review of each student’s previous education, training and work
experience will be conducted in order to determine if there is a need to recognise existing
competencies through recognition of prior learning.
An RPL process is in place for learners who wish to gain either recognition for an individual unit
or the complete Qualification. Students may either directly apply for RPL or may be identified during the pre-training review process and will be offered to undertake the RPL pathway by
SCM College staff.

Sequence of Delivery and Assessment/ Course Structure This program will be delivered over 59 weeks. Learners are provided with learning resources, training manuals and assessment requirements.
  1. Classroom-based training sessions to develop the knowledge and theoretical understandings required to undertake activities within a potentially highly regulated industry. Classroom settings will ensure full access to computers, internet, whiteboards, workbooks and textbooks.
  2. Practical training and experience in a simulated environment allowing for training, practice and assessment to occur in an appropriate environment (subject to units).  A Simulated environment is an environment that closely resembles the real workplace in its function and operation and provides access to a broad range of related
Experiences, tools and materials This environment will allow students to develop and demonstrate their skills in relation to carpentry within appropriate simulated situations.  During the practical sessions, enough time is allocated to students to perform the required tasks, practice their skills, reinforce their knowledge and prepare themselves for the practical assessments.
  1. Private / Out of Class Study – Students need to allocate few hours of self-study time per unit of competence to complete workbook activities and the associated review questions to enhance their understanding. This time is in addition to the structured supervised hours of training.
Delivery Weekly Hours  The face-to-face delivery of this qualification will combine theory in classrooms and practical training in a simulated environment. Each week, students will attend 20 hours of face-to-face/online training and assessment.
