Credit Transfer

Emerald College will provide credit for studies completed at another institution or at any other authorised issuing organisation, such as a university. In the case of any non-equivalent units of competency, a complete analysis will be undertaken to determine the equivalence of the study completed with the relevant units or modules before granting any credit. Credit transfer (Internal Credit transfer) also applies to units of competency completed at Emerald College as a part of a different course. Internal credit transfer may lead to reduction of course fee and course duration.

Financial Help

Learners who are unable to pay their tuition fees on time for any reason should discuss their problems with the Admin staff to make special pay arrangements.
