RPL & Credit Transfer

About

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning means an assessment process that assesses the competency(s) of an individual that may have been acquired through formal, non-formal and informal learning. This will allow the student to skip learning outcomes and skills that the student has already achieved.

Wattle College considers
RPL in three areas:

Formal learning

learning that takes place through a structured program of instruction and is linked to the attainment of an AQF qualification or statement of attainment (for example, a certificate, diploma, or university degree). See Credit Transfer below.

Informal Learning

refers to learning that results through experience of work-related, social, family, hobby, or leisure activities (for example the acquisition of interpersonal skills developed through several years as a sales representative).

Non – formal learning

to learning that takes place through a structured program of instruction but does not lead to the attainment of an AQF qualification or statement of attainment (for example, in house professional development programs conducted by a business)

How to apply

RPL must be applied either prior to enrolment of the course or within 14 days of course commencement.

Perspective students seeking RPL can register their intention within the enrolment form. Wattle College will invite the student for an interview which will include.

Identifying the relevant documentary evidence for each unit that will contribute to the RPL application such as resumes, position descriptions and references.

In addition, oral questioning to gather further evidence of skills and knowledge for each unit.

Wattle College will provide the student with most up to date information regarding the RPL process.

Next steps

The student will gather the reliable evidence and submit the completed RPL application form.

A qualified assessor will assess the form and the evidence submitted. If the assessor is satisfied with the evidence, the assessor will complete an assessment summary sheet and provide an outcome. The assessor might ask for further evidence before providing an outcome.

Students will be advised promptly of the decision where RPL is ‘granted’ or ‘not granted’ within 10 working days of completion of the assessment. The written communication to the participant is to include a reason for refusal (where applicable). Complaint and appeal procedure would apply.
