RPL and Credit Transfer

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of prior English learning is incorporated into the initial placement assessment. If the assessment results show previous learning to a level higher than ACSF Level 3 the learner will be considered to have achieved functional English. The learner will be referred to another provider for Certificate IV in Spoken and Written English or other studies without the requirement to first complete 10729NAT.

Fees for RPL are determined based on units and nominal hours.

Credit Transfer

If a student has studied before, they may be eligible for Credit Transfer (CT) of successfully completed units that are also in this qualification or equivalent units from 10364NAT.

Potential for the CT of all or some of the units in this qualification is assessed during enrolment and the pre-training review, and is granted when the student provides the academic transcript or Statement of Attainment for the unit/s of competency they are seeking to transfer.

The successful application of CT will decrease the length of this qualification.
