How Previously Earned Credits May Count Toward a Teaching Licence

For students entering through transfer or a similar route, previously earned credits may count toward a teaching licence, but legal limits may apply depending on the prior institution’s teacher-training accreditation.

Recognition of Previously Earned Credits

If you earned credits at a previous institution before transferring or entering through a similar route, those credits may be counted as valid credits toward obtaining a teaching licence.

Possible Limits on the Number of Credits

Depending on whether your previous institution had an accredited teacher-training programme, laws and regulations may limit the number of previously earned credits that can be counted toward a teaching licence.
