Entry Requirements

Are you considering a return to study after a break, changing career or thinking about tertiary education for the first time?

ECC welcomes your application. Your life and work experience will enrich ECC classrooms, will help you in your higher education studies and will make you attractive to prospective employers. A large number of mature aged students enrol at ECC’s partner university, Edith Cowan University, every year, seeking a new career or opportunities to progress in their current career.

ECC has a range of support services to help you succeed. We also have an alternative entry application process that may be relevant to you. You may also be eligible for credit for prior formal or informal learning. It’s a great time to pursue a formal qualification!

We can accept who have completed Cert II, III or IV in our diploma courses. You may apply for Credit for Recognised Learning (CRL)/Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) if you have successfully completed units at a similar level and standard in previous Vocational Education and Training (VET) studies.

We can accept applications if you are Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSI), affected by a medical condition or disability, disruption to education due to multiple relocations, bereavement or other disadvantaged circumstances. You need to demonstrate your achievements, determination, and commitment to succeed in your chosen course of study through the Portfolio and a face-to-face interview.
