RPL and Credit Transfer
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) recognises skills and knowledge that may have been gained through formal and informal training and/or learning, work experience and life experience to determine the extent to which they have achieved the required competency outcomes. It involves collecting evidence and making judgements on whether competence has been achieved. RPL is available to all learners. Applicants who can demonstrate competence in some or all aspects of a qualification can apply for RPL, once enrolled.
The RTO recognises the AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations. Enrolled students can apply for Credit Transfer for any previously completed unit of competency that meets the qualification packaging rules and for which they can provide evidence. Students must provide a certified true copy of the Statement of Attainment or record of results on which the achievement is recorded for validation for credit to be granted.
* Successful RPL or Credit Transfer may reduce the duration and cost of your course.

Student Fees will be adjusted if you are granted RPL or Credit Transfer for any units in the Training Program. If you apply for, and are granted, RPL or CT before enrolment this will be inputted to the Fee Calculator and the fee you are charged will be reduced.
