Work out how many subjects credit you receive and what the course timeframe and financial discount is for those.
The credit application process is assessed based on how many of the 13 core subjects you have completed with your prior studies. Subject name and learning outcomes must match the core subject requirements to be eligible.
E.g. If you have Nutrition 1 and Biochemistry with appropriate learning outcomes you would receive credit for these subjects. If you don't have these subject names or the learning outcomes don't match you would not receive credit for those.
For your academic transcript to be eligible it needs to be a level 7 (bachelors degree) qualification or higher and completed in the last 10 years. If you have been working in the nutrition or exercise science industry for a long time and graduated more than 10 years ago, we can take this into your consideration in assessing your transcript as well. If you have been working in a different field and graduated more than 10 years ago, we would not be able to recognise the credit.
Please note: If you continue to successfully enrol in the course, the cost of the credit assessment will be deducted from your course total ($49).
