Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer (CT)

RPL is a form of assessment that acknowledges skills and knowledge gained through

  • Formal training conducted by industry or education
  • Work experience
  • Life experience

The main principle of RPL focuses on the outcomes rather than when or where the learning occurred. Evidence of competency is collected by the applicant and submitted to the nominated assessor and assessment is made based on the required industry standard within the relevant raining package unit of competency.

Credit Transfer

Credit transfer is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit outcomes for components of a qualification based on identified equivalence in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifications. Credit transfer is applicable for the equivalent Training Package Units only. A certificate/statement of attainment/testamur is required to apply for credit transfer.
