Credit Transfer
Ausinet, as a Registered
Training Organisation
(RTO), recognises the
Australian Qualifications
Framework qualifications
and Statements of
Attainment issued by any
other Australian RTO. You
are encouraged to submit
requests for credit from
previous studies when
enrolling to ensure that you
are not enrolling in units
you may not need to
undertake. If you have
completed units at other
RTO and you think they
may count towards the
award requirements of the
course you are enrolled in
at Ausinet, submit an
official copy of your results
for the units you have
undertaken. Credit transfer
may fast-track your course.
RPL
Recognition of prior learning,
also referred to as RPL, is the
formal acknowledgement of a
person's current skills and
knowledge experience gained
throughout life – regardless
of how they have been
acquired.
This is an important
assessment pathway,
particularly for people who
are considering doing study.
The recognition gained may
considerably reduce the
study time needed to get a
qualification.
The RPL assessment may
include workplace
observation, interviews and
professional conversations,
work samples and
documented evidence. Please
contact the office for an RPL
kit.
Completion
requirements
The requirements for
granting this qualification
will be met when competency
is demonstrated and
achieved in full
Graduates who are
successfully competent in
both theoretical and practical
training completing all units
of competency listed above,
will be awarded a Statement
of Attainment (SOA)
