If you complete a Diploma or Advanced Diploma course you may be eligible to receive credit for some subjects if you apply for a university degree in the same area of study. You may receive up to 18 months credit for a three-year degree course. You will generally need a credit average in order to gain the maximum credits, but it is important to check with the university.

Yes, you can defer your studies at any time. The normal withdrawal and refund conditions will apply.

Once you have been accepted into a course, you may decide not to take that place up until the following year - this is called "deferment". Your place in the course will be held for a period of one year. Some courses allow deferment while others do not.
