RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING
If you’ve had lots of experience in this industry or similar in the past; you may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Recognition of Prior Learning means that you don’t require training. Instead, you just need to be assessed on each unit. You will need to draw on all your past experiences so that you can demonstrate that you have already acquired the knowledge and skills. You may be eligible for some units through the RPL process whilst other units may require some training.
