Fast tracking your application
We offer a Fast Track application option for RTO students who are in their last semester of study towards a Certificate IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma.
The Fast Track application option allows you to submit an application for admission directly to us at any time during your last semester of study - so that we can process your application early.
In most cases you are guaranteed an offer of a place at ECU in the course of your choice using this application option.Offers are, of course, conditional on you successfully completing your RTO qualification, ensuring you meet all pre-requisites and additional requirements for our course and the availability of places.
There are a small number of ECU courses which cannot accept applications by the Fast Track pathway.For further information about Fast Track applications:
