Skills assessment - course transcripts?

Hello,

Am preparing my skills assessment and I need a course transcript. What is this and how do I get one?

Do I need one for my degree as well as my professional qualification course?

Thank you for any help!

Getting transcripts can really be a pain!
My husband and I have both had to get them from plymouth uni £50 each! Took about 4 weeks.
Then, when getting my husbands certificates out the loft - we found he did already have a course transcript!

So it's worth double checking any paperwork you have.

I'm still waiting for De Montfort (Beford) to send me mine for my PGCE, 8 weeks later and several phone calls...but they've not mentioned a charge!

I contacted my university and asked them to send it to me, I believe I had to felll in a form, and then they sent the transcropt to me. They also told me that they only keep them for 5 years after your course is completed so I did it just in time (this may differ from uni to uni).

If the professional qualification is already recognized for full membership or part membership by the related Australian professional body, then you do not need to send a syllabus. For example, CIMA, ACCA.

In both cases, you will have to send the copy of the official transcript including band/grade achived for each subject with the overall band/grade.

That's what I sent to the NIA Australia and they had no problem with it.
