The aims of the credit matrix are to: make the qualifications system easier to understand; make it easier to design more flexible qualifications that combine new and different mixes of knowledge and skills; provide a common and uniform approach to describing qualifications and recording achievements in them; make it easier for individuals, employers and providers as well as the system as a whole to track and plan ahead; and ensure learning already successfully achieved does not have to be repeated. This paper, the fifth in a series of papers developed by the Victorian Qualifications Authority (VQA) and the second consultation paper on the credit matrix, summarises the main features of the credit matrix and the work to date on its development and provides information on its implementation.
