Prior to enrolment, Mercury Colleges will review each prospective student’s language, literacy, numeracy and digital literacy skills. This review may include an LLND assessment and/or consideration of relevant evidence of the applicant’s existing skills and competencies.
Where the review identifies that an applicant may not have the skills and competencies required to successfully undertake the qualification, Mercury Colleges will discuss the outcome with the applicant and, where appropriate, identify available support, reasonable adjustments, alternative training options or learning pathways.
The LLND review is undertaken to determine the applicant’s suitability for the qualification and is not intended to replace or modify the formal entry requirements specified for BSB80120.

All students undertaking nationally recognised VET training in Australia are required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI).

Is Credit Transfer (CT) available?
We recognise qualifications and Statements of Attainment that you’ve received from other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). This means you may be able to apply for a Credit Transfer if you’ve already completed the same or equivalent units elsewhere.
To apply, you’ll need to provide your original Qualification or Statement of Attainment, or certified copies. These documents must clearly show the national codes and titles so we can match them with the units in your current course. Credit Transfer can also be given for equivalent units from older qualifications, as long as they are listed as equivalent in the current Training Package.
All documents must be valid, issued by a registered RTO, and meet national standards. As part of the enrolment process, we’ll verify your documents either by contacting the issuing RTO directly or by checking through the Unique Student Identifier (USI) registry.
