Health and Professional Requirements
All applicants are required to sign:
- A Police Vetting Service Request and Consent form; and
- A declaration that they are in good health (having no medical, physical or psychological conditions that would preclude working with vulnerable clients).
This request is consistent with industry expectations and the type of work undertaken whilst on the programme or as a graduate of the programme.
If the declaration identifies any issue that may impact on the applicant’s ability to complete the programme, the applicant can discuss these with the Programme Coordinator at an information session. EIT reserves the right to decline entry to the programme should an applicant’s Police record or health difficulties be such that they would be considered unsuitable for the type of work undertaken whilst on this programme or by graduates of this programme. The guidelines on which this decision will be based are the relevant professional association or industry requirements.
Information Session
An information session is recommended as it is an opportunity for us to clarify what is involved in the programme and to get to know you, as a potential student, to make sure the programme is right for you.

Entry with Credit
If you wish to receive credit recognition from previous studies or experiences, you can do so by applying for Cross Credit (CC) or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
- CC is based on the equivalency of courses or qualifications. You would apply for CC if you have passed a very similar course at the same level.
- RPL is based on the assessment of your current knowledge and skills. You would apply for RPL if you had gained the relevant knowledge and skills through life experiences and informal learning situations.
Please identify any credit you may wish to be considered as part the programme at application. Please note recognising prior learning may reduce your study load in this programme and impact on your ability to receive funding.
