Recognition of Prior Learning and Credit Transfer
Australian Workplace Training offers recognition of prior learning (RPL) status and credit transfer (CT) status for all students.
RPL is the recognition of a person’s current skills and knowledge acquired through prior learning from other training, work or life experience.
Once you have enrolled in a course students should identify the unit(s) they would like recognition for and request an RPL or CT application form.
Students must provide evidence of relevant competencies to satisfy the assessment guidelines and range of evidence required under the training package.
This may be by a portfolio of their work and/or experience.
Students may be asked to answer questions or participate in discussions with a trainer or a panel of trainers to ascertain under pinning knowledge to the standards required under the training package.
Australian Workplace Training recognises all qualifications and statements of attainment of units issued by other Registered Training Organisations.
This recognition will be given on evidence of Certificates and Statements of Attainments.
Direct credit transfer is given on unit codes that match the unit applied for, original copies will need to be sighted by a trainer and a copy to be put on file.
No CT will be given to any units that are more than seven (7) years old.
If a CT for a First Aid certificate is applied for, a copy of a current Apply First Aid Certificate is required.
Once the application, evidence and payment are received you will receive notification of the outcome within two weeks.
A non-refundable $75.00 fee per unit will be incurred to initiate the RPL process. If the application is unsuccessful, the full cost will incur.
Appeals can be made through the grievance mechanism, as outlined in the student handbook.
