Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) • Get qualified sooner
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the formal recognition of a person’s current skills and knowledge. The prior learning may have been acquired through informal education, work, community, sporting and general life experiences. This current knowledge can greatly expedite the attainment of your qualification.
The reality is an outstanding education can be acquired from within the areas touched-upon above. RPL is recognised as being a pivotal component of the Australian Quality Training Framework.
Why apply for RPL?
Let’s face it, it’s tedious and annoying being forced to learn about something in which we’re already proficient. Dymond Institute of Business in Queensland understands this, and therefore discusses our clients’ current knowledge and skills with them prior to enrolment into our programs. This enables us to identify units of competency (subjects) from our programs, which our clients’ can be assessed against, without the need to undertake the ‘study’ component. This accelerates course completion.
How does RPL work?
The process of RPL requires clients’ to submit evidence in accordance with the rules of assessment mandated by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). A number of methods will be used to assess an applicant’s competency.
These may include:
✔ Oral or written questioning;
✔ Collecting tangible documented evidence;
✔ Observation of task performance;
✔ Challenge testing; and
✔ Third party validation reports from the candidate’s current or past employers.
The type of evidence will vary depending upon the performance standards of the unit (subject), which you are being assessed against. Your assessor will discuss these with you.
Which qualifications can I RPL through Dymond Institute?
An application for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can be made for:
★ BSB41307 – Certificate IV in Marketing
★ BSB51207 – Diploma of Marketing
★ BSB50207 – Diploma of Business
★ BSB60507 – Advanced Diploma of Marketing
★ TAE40110 – Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (South East Queensland only)
How much does RPL cost?
The cost to complete a given unit of competency varies depending upon the level of the unit being evaluated. Because RPL is an assessment only process – that is, education is not included, the cost is approximately half that of what it would cost to complete a unit through study.
To enquire about the price of specific units in relation to RPL, please email your enquiry to the Institute.
