Certificate IV in Ageing Support: Find out more

Traxion Training offers RPL assessment completely online. You’ll start with a self-assessment questionnaire to map your skills.

If your experience covers the qualification, we’ll fast-track the outcome. If gaps exist, we’ll help identify solutions. 

How You’ll Qualify: Flexible Online Delivery

You may be able to achieve this aged care 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 to completing your aged care course without studying that will help you 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).

To confirm that your other qualifications make you eligible for a Certificate IV in Ageing Support, 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.
