Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfers (CT)
RPL is a process that assesses your competency — acquired through formal and informal learning — to determine if you meet the requirements for a unit of study.
Students with previous skills, knowledge or experience are entitled to apply for RPL for a full qualification or individual units of competency.
Students will be required to produce evidence and undertake assessment as part of the RPL process.
If you have previously completed a unit/s of competency and can provide valid evidence of AQF certification (issued by an RTO), you are eligible to apply for a CT and would not be required to undertake further study for the unit.
