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.
As this course consists solely of a single unit of competency, it does not meet the criteria to apply 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).
Unique Student Identifier (USI)
All students undertaking Nationally Recognised Training in Australia are required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). A USI is a personal education number that remains with the student for life and is used to record nationally recognised training outcomes. Students must provide their USI as part of the enrolment process. There is no fee to create or apply for a USI.
