WHAT IS THE TPC?
The Tertiary Preparation Certificate IV (TPC) is an alternative to the NSW
Higher School Certificate (HSC). On completion successful graduates can
apply to study at university, or apply to study a diploma or degree course at
TAFE or another college. The TPC is also recognised for entry into Defence
or Police forces.
If you:
• Have left school.
• Think you are too old to go back to school.
• Would like to go to university.
• Aim to do higher-level courses at a TAFE college.
Then the TPC is more than likely the right course for you
The TPC course is delivered in a way that develops sound academic skills,
and also provides appropriate subject knowledge. The TPC fosters individual
skills and knowledge in a mature, supportive learning environment. The
majority of students who elect to study the TPC full time take TWO semesters
over one year. Part-time attendance options are also available and will take
longer to complete in most cases.
TPC COURSE STRUCTURE
The TPC is divided into the following 4 subject groups:
•
Group 1:
Core subjects (must be completed)
•
Group 2:
B-level elective subjects (400 level)
•
Group 3:
A-level elective subjects (300 level)
•
Group 4:
General elective subjects.
You will progress from A-Levels which build necessary subject skills and
knowledge, in order to complete B-Levels which contribute towards your final
mark. To receive the Tertiary Preparation Certificate IV you must PASS NINE
subjects; this is made up of the THREE core subjects plus SIX electives (See
graphic in this booklet for more info).
Applying to UNIVERSITY with the TPC
On completion of the TPC you will receive a Certificate IV, however you will
also be able to apply to University as successful TPC graduates also receive
a Tertiary Entrance Score (TES).
The TES is a scaled mark that is equivalent to the HSC ATAR score.
The TES will allow you to apply to your chosen university through a body such
as the Universities Admission Centre (UAC). The TES is a mark out of 300
that is comprised of one compulsory and two other ‘B’ level subjects that you
will complete.
Scaling of B-level subjects and the award of the TES is calculated yearly, in
December, at the conclusion of Semester 2 of each calendar year. It is
important to bear this in mind if you are aiming to complete the TPC in the
middle of any year (i.e.June/July), as your TES will NOT be calculated until
the end of that calendar year. Speak to us if you need further clarification.

F. A. Q. AND ANSWERS
1) How long will it take me to complete the TPC?
If you are studying full-time it is expected you will complete in one year.
Part-time attendance options are also available.
2) How many subjects do I need to course complete?
To be awarded the Tertiary Preparation Certificate IV you must pass NINE subjects:
• All compulsory group 1 subjects: LALS A, LALS B and Apply Ethical Practice in stu
• SIX electives, made up from:
o A-level elective subjects from Group 3. A maximum of THREE will count
towards course completion.
o TWO or more of the B-level elective subjects from Group 2.
o Any number of the general elective subjects from Group 4.
3) What subjects should I study for a particular university course?
We can’t really advise you on this, but can only offer suggestions based on
experience. Each university is different and so requires different subjects and levels of
study. We suggest you contact each university in which you are interested, or
visit them on an open day to ask relevant course questions. Alternatively, you can
check websites or a UAC or similar guide, which usually list specific subjects, marks
and requirements needed for particular university courses.
4) Are there Equivalencies in Mathematics between HSC and TPC?
HSC General Maths = Maths A1 +

5) How is my university entrance score calculated?
Your university entrance score is called a TES (Tertiary Entrance Score). The TES is
calculated from the result out of 100 for Language and Learning Skills B (LALS B) and
this is added to your best TWO B-level elective subject scaled results (each also
marked out of 100) to give a final score out of 300. This score is then converted by
UAC for University entry purposes.
6) Where can I find more info on TPC?
Timetables and other relevant information are usually located on the TPC
noticeboard: Building D, Level 5, outside room D5.08. You can also speak with a
teacher in room D512.
OR visit our website: tpcstudies.sydneyinstitute.wikispaces.net
OR FACEBOOK, search: Sydney TAFE University Preparation Courses
7) Who can I contact if I need additional support or guidance?
Talk to a teacher or staff member or contact the Counselling and Career development
and Disabilities units directly. They are located on level 4 of building D.
You can make an appointment at the desk on level 4, or call 9217 3238.
Or visit sydneytafe.edu.au/counsellingcareers
Counselling services are free and confidential.
8) How much does the TPC cost?
Contact the student services section on the ground floor of Building D
9) Can I gain Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?
Yes, bring any documentary evidence (e.g. transcript) to the relevant Head Teacher.
