2. Apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) if you have the relevant industry knowledge and experience.
If you are considering applying for recognition of prior learning for any course you will need to present evidence of this.

You may have developed competency in these elements in a number of ways:

• Through relevant life experiences
• Through relevant experience on-the-job
• Through completing relevant training courses

Gathering evidence can be a time consuming process, however, if you feel that parts of the course are ‘going over old ground’ so to speak, it is worth the effort to have your expertise recognized.

Note: The Recognition of Prior Learning process can only be initiated after enrollments and fees have been received.

The ultimate decision as to your current competency will be made by an assessor.  Evidence must match the performance criteria very clearly and satisfy the assessor that you genuinely have the skills and the knowledge you present for recognition.
RPL application forms available upon request.

Fees

Enrolment Fees include: Student notebooks and student workbooks delivered electronically by CD or email, class handouts where applicable, online toolbox access for applicable courses, email support and assessment fees.
