Assessment of applications for advanced entry
Applications for advanced entry will be subject to RI 2026 – Advanced entry application or pre-requisites apply and will be allocated a status of AAC Pending.
Apprenticeship Network Providers (ANP) should provide a copy of the lower level qualification specified in the VTO to the Training Services NSW Home Centre.
If the specified lower level qualification was completed as part of a NSW apprenticeship or traineeship, there is no need for ANPs to provide another copy of the qualification. ANPs should simply advise Training Services NSW that the applicant completed the qualification as part of a previous National Training Contract.
Assessment of direct entry applications where credit is requested
If an applicant holds the lower level qualification specified in the VTO they MUST apply for the advanced entry VTO. Applicants who:
- have completed an earlier version of the specified lower level qualification; or
- have completed a different qualification which they believe should entitle them to a reduced term; or
- will be undertaking a superseded qualification under transition arrangements,
should apply for the direct entry vocation and apply for credit. The advanced entry term in the VTO may be used as a guide in determining appropriate credit.
