The benefits to a student in undertaking RPL include:

  • Professional assessment and evaluation of prior learning and/or experience
  • Provides a fast track to completion of further study and training through recognition of past achievements
  • There are potential time and money savings by full or partial exemptions.

Cost

You will be charged $100 per course that is recognised up to the value of $500 (5 courses).View the Recognition of Prior Learning Policy here.
