What the published guidance says

Griffith asks applicants to examine programme and course requirements when preparing a credit application. It recognises both previous study and experience-based learning. Its guidance encourages early consideration so students can plan enrolment with better information.

Use a small comparison table

List the course outcome, the learning you believe matches it and the evidence you could provide. Add a fourth column for questions. That last column is useful: it keeps an uncertainty visible rather than disguising it with extra documents.

For a practical claim, explain what you did and why the approach made sense. For previous study, use official unit information and assessment records where available. The institution may require additional detail or another assessment, so treat your table as preparation rather than a decision.

An example to think through

A learner requesting recognition for a communication-related course might have presentations and feedback from work. The materials could support delivery skills but say little about analysing an audience. The comparison table helps identify that missing explanation before the portfolio becomes large and difficult to revise.

This is an illustrative preparation example, not a past applicant’s story or an approved assessment outcome.

Three questions to take forward

1

Have I checked the actual programme and course requirements?

2

Which outcome is supported by each proposed item?

3

What uncertainty should I ask about before submitting a claim?

Availability, costs and ToHave’s role

Requirements can change with the programme, subject, application date and your own evidence. Check the institution’s current information before relying on a route. Admission, academic credit, a complete qualification and professional registration are different decisions.

ToHave can help organise genuine evidence and support a suitable application where permitted. Our service fee is £100 GBP, payable at the end of the work. Any institution charges and agreed external costs are separate. Read the service conditions and costs. The institution decides the academic outcome; our support does not guarantee approval.
