You can only undertake one (1), two-course combination, equivalent to 12 credit points per eligible higher education program. Each Future Skills course can only be used once as a stack or credit pathway within one specific RMIT program or when articulating to a higher-level program in the same suite. However, if you choose to change to a completely different program, you may use the Future Skills course for credit again.
According to RMIT policy, the standards for credentials is that they last 10 years for credit, however some exceptions may apply. It’s best to check with the admissions team the expiry of your previous credential before you enrol.

Unfortunately, obtaining a credit transfer does not guarantee that you’ll be accepted into an accredited program. To be successful, you will still need to meet the full eligibility requirements and English language criteria of the program you are trying to get admitted into.
If you’re currently an accredited program student, you may study Future Skills short courses while on a leave of absence.
You are eligible for a credit transfer for the approved programs stated as part of the credit pathways process, or those that have dual modes. E.g. The MC199 Master of Business Administration has both online and on-campus offerings that are eligible for a credit transfer.
Credit transfer is where we assess your previous formal study and, if you can demonstrate you meet the learning outcomes for some of your RMIT courses, then we ‘transfer the credit’ from your previous study to your RMIT course(s).
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is where we formally assess your previous work and life experiences, along with any formal, informal or non-formal learning, and determine whether this could be worth credit in lieu of study. This means you don’t have to spend time learning things you already know.
