Recognition of Prior Learning:

          If you have worked or studied in this field before, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows you the opportunity to be recognised for skills, experience and study that you may have already attained. To gain RPL you will need to contact the college for our RPL kit which will guide you through the process of presenting your evidence to us. RPL will only be granted before the start of the course, or within the first two weeks of starting of the course.

          As an international student, i you receive RPL, you are still required to attend full-time study. The duration of the course is reduced affecting your Confirmation of Enrolment with DIBP (Department of Immigration and Border Protection)

          There is a fee for the RPL service which is detailed under Fees.

 

Credit Transfer:

          You may be eligible for credit transfer if you have previously undertaken training through another RTO. Credit transfer may be granted for one or more units of a full qualification level.

          If you think you may be eligible for a credit transfer, you will need to provide a certified copy of the original statement of attainment and/or certificate.
