LATERAL ENTRY, ONE GOAL: YOUR SECOND CHANCE

At TOCS Sydney, we know that education journeys can be interrupted. Many students begin a diploma or degree with commitment, but sometimes circumstances mean the course isn’t completed. Our Lateral Entry Diplomas give you the opportunity to resume and complete without starting over. This pathway recognises your prior learning and effort—whether you paused, failed, or simply couldn’t continue—transforming it into a Dual International Certification recognised in 230+ countries. With no exams and no further study required, you can quickly gain the qualification you need to advance in your career or education.

Your effort deserves recognition — TOCS helps you turn it into achievement

At TOCS Sydney, the Lateral Entry Diplomas are designed to bridge gaps in academic journeys and transform unfinished learning into recognised success. We understand that many students invest time, energy, and resources into higher education but, due to personal, financial, or situational reasons, are unable to complete their course. Instead of letting that effort go to waste, TOCS provides a structured pathway that acknowledges your prior study and awards a globally valid diploma without restarting from the beginning.

This stream of study is built on the principle of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), ensuring that every subject you have already studied is valued. By doing so, you gain the benefit of:

Saving time – no need to repeat semesters or redo coursework you’ve already covered.
Saving money – a highly affordable fee compared to starting afresh.
Boosting employability – access to a dual international certification recognised in over 230+ countries.
Academic progression – eligibility to pursue further studies, specialisations, or advanced qualifications.
Career flexibility – qualifications across diverse streams, from engineering and IT to healthcare, hospitality, business, and creative fields.

In today’s competitive world, employers and institutions look for candidates who hold credible, recognised qualifications. With TOCS Sydney, you can move forward with a diploma that not only validates your previous effort but also strengthens your professional profile.
