Part time course count?!
Tue, 14 Mar 2006, 08:30 amPart time courses? I just wanted to ask a question- I got some info sent out by the entertainment factory a while ago- it looks fantastic and really legit but I just can't afford the time and money this year. I got this letter yesterday from them saying that I could just pick up some units.. and get my Advanced Diploma over time or pick up full time next year... I was wondering coz there nationally recognised do you think if I did some units there and auditioned for both them and WAPPA next year my completed units could count towards my entry??? Does anyone know about the whole national recognition thing?!?!?! Was just curious - they start in two weeks and don't want to miss out if it counts for something!?!?
Actually....while it is

Actually....while it is true that both places are RTO's, they only have to accept your units (Recognition of Prior Learning) if they are exactly the same, or if they decide they are close enough in content and standard. Now I don't know as much about the Acting or Dance courses at WAAPA, but i'm pretty sure in the Bach. of Music Theatre course the subjects would not correspond enough to gain RPL. However, if the Adv. Dip. courses had extremely similiar subjects then I'm sure they would consider RPL, but in the end, your probably not worse off if you do a subject again anyway.
Anything up to an Advanced Dip would be easier to transfer...once you get into Bachelor territory it would get harder, as each institution becomes more individual in their delivery of the subjects.
All the best!
