I am getting an error when I try to log into my LMS account. Can you help?
- The first thing to check is your order confirmation email - it will contain your Learning Management System (LMS) account and password. Note that this account may not be the same as your staff, student or previous short course participant account.
- The second thing to check is that you're logging on as a short course participant and not as a student - choose 'Other Users' - select Short Course as your institution and use your account and password as provided.
If you need any assistance, contact us on LaTrobeProfessional@latrobe.edu.au.
I want to enrol multiple staff in a short course. How do I go about this?
Contact LaTrobeProfessional@latrobe.edu.au so that we can discuss options with you.
What certification will I receive?
The type of certification depends on the assessment involved in the course. For example:
- Microcredentials: You will receive a digital credential that confirms the skills you’ve acquired, any assessments you’ve completed and potential pathways for credit or advanced standing towards a degree.
- Other assessed short courses: This may include bridging programs or courses that prepare you for external certification from a professional body. You might receive a certificate of achievement or a digital badge (a digital version of a certificate of achievement).
- Non-assessed courses: If a course doesn’t involve formal assessment, you’ll receive a certificate of attendance.
- Single-subject enrolment: If you enrol in a single subject, you will receive an official transcript for that subject.
Please note that short courses or microcredentials are not formal qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework but may be eligible for consideration as advanced standing (credit) towards a degree.
What is a microcredential?
Microcredentials are short courses that are assessed, carry academic credit, and to deliver specific skills or knowledge. While they can be taken as standalone courses, many are designed to be combined or ‘stacked’ with other microcredentials to form the equivalent of a subject within a degree program. Upon successful completion, you’ll earn a digital credential that outlines the skills and credit obtained, and any opportunities for stacking.
For La Trobe microcredentials, any advanced standing or stacking pathways are clearly expressed on the course page.
What is advanced standing?
Advanced standing refers to credit for prior study or formal learning that can be credited towards a qualification, thereby reducing the number of subjects required to complete a course. For short courses or microcredentials (if these have been completed through recognised institutions or platforms and are deemed equivalent to La Trobe University subjects), credit may be granted either for specific La Trobe subjects or as unspecified credit towards elective requirements of a La Trobe course.
For La Trobe microcredentials, any advanced standing or stacking pathways are clearly expressed on the course page. Upon successful completion of the course, you’ll receive a digital credential, which may be used when applying for credit for the relevant degree at La Trobe.
