Recognition of Prior Learning - Credit Transfer

Recognition of Prior Learning ["RPL"] refers to recognition of competencies currently held obtained through informal learning regardless of how, when or where the learning occurred. Under AQTF, competencies may be attained in a number of ways, including formal or informal training, education, work experience or general life experience. In order to grant RPL, the assessor must be confident that the candidate is currently competent as defined within the National Training Package or outcomes specified in accredited courses.

The evidence may take a variety of forms and may include certification, reference from past employers, testimonials from clients and work samples. The assessor must ensure that the evidence is authentic, valid, reliable, current and sufficient.

RPL and credit transfer procedures ensure that each application is considered according to accreditation guidelines. RPL fees apply.
