“The opportunity to translate my real-world McDonald’s experience, business acumen, and on-the-job training into nationally recognised qualifications has been incredible. My prior learning equated to eight university subjects. Which saved me a full year of university study, and allowed me to keep growing personally and professionally while completing my Bachelor of Business at JCU."

FAQs

Yes. JCU officially recognises Capability.Co’s micro-credentials based on Human Capability Standards (HCS) as eligible for advanced standing (credit transfer) into the Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Commerce degrees.

Students who are awarded Foundation level micro-credentials by Capacility.Co will receive credit towards the following JCU degrees:

  • Bachelor of Business
  • Bachelor of Commerce

Yes. Students must follow the standard JCU admission process. Once your application is assessed and accepted, you’ll receive a formal Letter of Offer from your chosen JCU campus.

The amount of credit depends on the number of micro-credentials you are awarded:

  • 4 x Micro Credentials (Foundation Level) → 4 subject credits

This means students will need to complete 16 or 20 remaining subjects (depending on credit level) to finish their JCU degree.

By using your micro-credentials for advanced standing at JCU, you can:

  • Gain recognition for prior learning and professional capability.
  • Reduce the time and cost of completing your degree.
  • Utilise these micro-credentials to achieve a full university qualification in Business or Commerce.
