RPL OR COURSE?

RPL

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that can be completed in a short time frame. It's based on skills, knowledge and evidence you have already acquired over the years to meet the requirements for the qualification.

Evidence for RPL may include:

• Proven work experience
• Life experiences (including voluntary work and leisure pursuits)
• Previous study (Qualifications, industry training, professional development programs or units)
• References from qualified persons

RPL can be conducted via online delivery and through workplace training.

If a student fails to demonstrate competency in some units required to gain the qualification, Gap Training is used to gain competency in those units. It can be customised to suit the individual client needs. Up to 4 units of gap training are included in your RPL Fee. Additional fees apply for further gap training units.

A licence or registration may require a combination of technical qualification, experience, skills and knowledge prior to application. One step in the process of gaining your licence or registration is to complete training which has been approved by the licencing body in your State or Territory.

State and Territory jurisdictions may have different licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements. Relevant State and Territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.

Course Payment Plan - $4000

To make course payments more manageable, we offer a payment plan. This allows you to pay in instalments as you progress through the 6 modules of the course over 18 months. Further time extension can be requested at a cost of $180 per month.

Here’s how it works:

1. Initial Payment: Start with an upfront payment of $1500 at the time of enrolment to secure your online training module to begin the course.
