Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an “assessment” only pathway utilising the skills, knowledge and experience you’ve gained through study, training, work and life experience to gain a formal qualification.
You should discuss this option with a trainer prior to enrolling in a course to determine if you can meet the requirements. If you are unable to meet all of the requirements during the RPL gap training may be provided.
How will I be assessed?
There are a number of ways you can complete RPL such as:
- A discussion/interview with your assessor
- Workplace observations or scenarios
- A portfolio of evidence which may include
- A resume or duty statement
- 3rd party reports
- A product or resource you have developed
- Previous units of competence or qualifications you have completed
An assessor will look at all of the evidence and match it against a unit of competence or qualification.
Recognition of Prior Learning and Recognition of Current Competencies are charged at a fee of $1,000 (inc GST) per day.
Credit transfer
Credit transfer recognises another unit or qualification you have completed through previous study. This can be used as part of your overall RPL. A credit transfer is accepted from other organisations such as TAFE, university or a private training organisation.
