AQF Certification Outcome

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.

Since this course consists of only one unit of competency, it does not qualify for Credit Transfer. You can find more information about RPL and Credit Transfer in our Resulting, Credit Transfers & Recognition of Prior Learning Policy and Procedure (Training).
