You need to ask from the place you are studying and the place where you would like to study

Only they can tell you if they will recognise credits from one programme in another.

usually in polytechnics - if you don't get directly credited - you sometimes are let just take the test instead of sitting through all the classes for some basic courses. what they want is everyone to be on the same level and as some people have had even university studies and some burned their math books on a pyre after vocational school there can be a huge discrepancy between the starting students' skills. but it depends on the institution itself

usually the question is does the university accept UAS credits and that is also depending on the course and content but very stingy
