What courses will earn me credit into which programs?

Currently, there are eleven (11) Future Skills short courses that form two-course combinations as a credit pathway into eight (8) degree programs within business, law, and design.

Please note that some Future Skills short courses do not currently have intakes. If you have already completed one of these courses, you can still use it as a credit pathway. These courses will be marked with an asterisk. 

If you're interested in enrolling in a Future Skills short course that isn't currently open for enrollment, kindly visit the product page and submit a "Notify Me" request. This way, you'll receive updates about future intakes.

Still got questions?

We get that the credit transfer process can feel a little overwhelming. To help you navigate this process, we’ve collected answers to some frequently asked questions you may have about getting a credit transfer.

Eligibility and Entry Requirements 

Who is eligible for a credit transfer? 

Future Skills learners, Australian domestic RMIT, and international offshore students are eligible for a credit pathway into RMIT programs.  

What are the conditions or requirements of a credit transfer? 

The conditions for a credit transfer are:  

  1. You must complete at least two Future Skills courses (including passing all the required assessments) matched to one specified RMIT course. 
  2. One (1) RMIT Online Future Skills course can only be used once, with another RMIT Online Future Skills course, to get a credit pathway into one (1) RMIT program. 
  3. You must claim the credit pathway within the validity period of 10 years as per RMIT's Credit Policy.  
  4. You must meet the RMIT program’s academic and English requirements 
  5. The credit transfer process applies to domestic and international offshore students only. Onshore international students are not eligible to undertake Future Skills courses for credit into RMIT degrees. If you intend to become an onshore international student (living in Australia under a Visa) you may undertake Future Skills short courses, but you are not eligible for a credit transfer. Temporary students without a student visa are also not eligible for a credit transfer.
  6. Future Skills learners who completed their courses prior to March 16, 2021 are not eligible to seek credit but may seek RPL by completing a Higher education application for RPL assessment form. The reason for that is that the increased academic oversight on courses was applied after that date. That oversight enables credit. RMIT Online does not approve RPL or credit applications. ​
