Types of Advanced Standing
There are three types of Advanced Standing:

Specified Advanced Standing may be given for a specified unit or units where prior learning is regarded as having satisfied both the objectives and the assessment requirements of the unit. Such prior learning may have been gained through previous study which has already been assessed by an educational establishment (e.g. university or TAFE).

Unspecified Advanced Standing may be given through recognising a number of credit points rather than a specific unit, where prior learning is regarded to be consistent with the broad outcomes of the course being undertaken. Such prior learning may have been gained through work-based experience, life experience, self-tuition, non-accredited professional development programs, TAFE or university programs.

Block Advanced Standing is granted to students who have completed relevant studies at Advanced Certificate or Advanced Diploma level at TAFE and certain colleges or private providers.
