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 this tailored and flexible online approach, and unlock the next stage in your career sooner.

RPL & Credit Transfer Explained

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.

This course can be completed using an assessment only pathway through RPL in Traxion if you possess sufficient skills and experience, as determined by the assessor.
