Articulation agreements
Existing agreements are with CSU Equine Science:
GO TAFE (Goulburn Ovens, Vic), 64 credit points, ASC148 ASC248 ASC206 AGB233 ASC142 ASC201 AGB220 unspecified elective:
- Diploma of Equine Performance
- Diploma of Equine Stud Management
NSW TAFE (Goulburn, Richmond and Taree), 48 credit points, five CSU undergraduate subjects credit (not specified on credit package form), relevant to Equine Studies, and AGB125
- Diploma of Horse Industry Management (Performance Horses)
NSW TAFE (Orange),
- Diploma of Equine Massage Therapy, 32 credit points, subjects not specified on credit package form (expired Dec 2011)
We recommend removal of ASC206 as a subject offered in the existing credit packages and replacing this with one of the new equine practicum subjects ASC380 or ASC381. It will be pivotal to the success of this articulation with TAFE and other institutions to closely monitor progress of students with credit packages and to review and ammend as required.
