There is no direct articulation between the College’s vocational education and training (VET) sector certificate and diploma courses and its higher education bachelor degree courses. Changing from a VET course to a higher education course usually means moving from Tabor level 2 to Tabor level 3 and often entails a considerable amount of upgrading work. A certificate IV is not considered to be the first year of a bachelor degree and a diploma is not considered to be equivalent to the first two years of such a degree. No units in courses at different levels are identical. All the units in the College’s bachelor degree courses are level 3 units and are more complex than the corresponding units in certificate or diploma courses. The Certificate IV in Christian Studies course leads to many options for students desiring to do further study at Tabor College. Units can be immediately transferred to any of the College’s courses, giving credit for up to 50% of such a course. Students who gain a grade of Credit or above, for level 2 units will be granted advanced standing in the corresponding units in bachelor-level courses, and, unless they are granted block credit (as described supra under Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning), they will need to do upgrading work in these units in order to be granted full credit at bachelor degree level.
