Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment process that acknowledges skills and knowledge acquired through formal, non-formal, or informal learning. This pathway allows students to gain recognition for competencies they have already developed, potentially leading to the awarding of a unit of competency or qualification without additional training.
To apply for RPL, please contact our Student Services Team. They will assess the student’s suitability and discuss the process before sending an application kit.
Credit Transfer
Credit transfer allows students to receive recognition for equivalent units of competency they have successfully completed. This process ensures that students do not have to repeat training for units they already hold.
To apply for credit, students must provide evidence of the completed unit, which may include a qualification certificate or transcript, statement of attainment or USI transcript.
