Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) vs Credit Transfer
Have you gained knowledge and skills through your work, life experience, training or education? Recognition of your current skills and knowledge can occur through either credit transfer or recognition of prior learning.
A credit transfer is applied if you hold a Statement of Attainment for a unit with the same code as a unit in the course you wish to enrol in. Meaning you don’t have to do the unit again.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can be an option if you have current extensive experience, knowledge and skills related to the course you are wanting to enrol in but have never sought a formal qualification. The assessment is still as rigorous and involves you answering questions for each unit, to confirm you hold the knowledge, and providing evidence that your skills and experience are current and relate to the course you are wanting to enrol in.
Resources
Learning resources supplied online (CTA trainers will show you how to use the online system) are included in the course cost. Additional charges will apply for printing of learning resources, if requested. Please check before enrolment.
