We deliver qualifications via flexible, online RPL that suit busy professionals who have plenty of experience but not a lot of time to study.
You’ll start with a self-reflection questionnaire, followed by a tailored assessment process that aligns your existing skills with course requirements.
Achieve your next qualification online with Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Traxion Training specialises in supporting experienced professionals who are currently employed in their respective industries.
As part of the RPL process, you will begin by completing a self-reflection questionnaire. This initial step will identify your existing skills and knowledge, determining whether you are eligible for RPL or if additional training is needed to meet the qualification requirements.
Successful RPL outcomes can significantly shorten training and learning duration, ensuring a more efficient path to achieving your next diploma or certificate. You’ll either be able to qualify entirely online without the need to study, or we will recommend one or two modules to get you over line.
Choose a tailored and flexible online approach that will help you unlock the next stage in your career sooner.
Recognition of Prior Learning is all about the skills and knowledge you’ve collected through work and life experiences and then transferring them to current training course requirements.
Credit transfer also recognises previous formal learning (e.g. other VET qualifications).
Our consultants will request:
- A copy of your existing qualification
- Record of results (which includes details of the issuing RTO and the date issued),
- Statement of attainment previously issued for each unit of competency, or authenticated VET transcripts downloaded from the USI (Unique Student Identifier) platform.
All courses can be completed using an assessment only pathway through RPL in Traxion if you possess sufficient skills and experience, as determined by the assessor.
Enrolments are processed upon receipt of a completed enrolment form.
All policy information regarding conditions of enrolment, refunds and our guarantee to complete all assessment requirements once the enrolment has commenced, is contained in our Terms and Conditions.
For further information please refer to the Student Handbook.
The specific course entry requirements are:
- Technology skills – basic level computer skills and access to a computer will be required.
- Approximately 6 months of experience in the Community Services, or/and disabilities and healthcare industry.
To achieve this qualification, you will have completed a total of at least 200 hours of work in a specific range of skills related to the community services or/and healthcare services industry as detailed in the Assessment Requirements of the units of competency. The total number of hours may be applied collectively across all units of competency that include the requirement for workplace hours.

This Qualification requires you to have completed a minimum of 200 hours of vocational placement. Traxion Training expects you to have already completed these hours because we only offer assessment based methods and do not offer any training and delivery for this qualification.
Traxion currently only offers RPL services to students who have worked at least these hours and are currently working in the industry. If you don’t meet the vocational placement hours requirement in the specified units of competencies of the qualification, Traxion will not be able to issue a Statement of Attainment for the specified unit of competency or a qualification.
There are two units of competency in this Qualification which requires vocational placement.
- CHCCSM013 requires you to have performed the activities outlined in the performance criteria of this unit during a period of at least 100 hours of work within a workplace. These hours cannot be completed concurrently with hours specified in any other unit of competency. More information can be found here.
- CHCDEV005 requires you to have performed the activities outlined in the performance criteria of this unit during a period of at least 100 hours of work within a workplace. These hours cannot be completed concurrently with hours specified in any other unit of competency. More information can be found here.
These hours must be completed separately and not shared between units. If you haven’t met these requirements, we cannot issue your qualification.
