Credit Transfer

Adept Training recognises AQF qualifications and statement of attainments by other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).  This is known as Mutual Recognition, and other RTOs will also recognise your Certificates and Statements of Attainment from Adept Training.  You will need to provide the original or a certified copy of your statement of attainment or certificate from the RTO that provided you with the training and/or assessment – Adept’s Credit Transfer Application form is available on our website or contact our office.  If you feel you would like to apply for credit transfer please download the Credit Transfer Application form from our website.  There are no fees for credit transfer.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

RPL means that skills and knowledge you have achieved through previous training, work or life experience are acknowledged. 

The advantages of RPL are:

·                     being able to reduce your study load

·                     being able to finish your course earlier

Please note that RPL will not be granted for partial units of competency.  RPL will be granted only where sufficient evidence is provided of competence for an entire Unit of Competency.  You must lodge your RPL application form prior to the course commencing.  We recommend at least 2 weeks before, as the process can take up to  2 to 4 weeks. 

There is an Initial RPL Application fee of $150 (This is a non-refundable fee, regardless of being successful or unsuccessful in your initial application).

If you are successful in your application a further $50.00 per unit fee will apply.  Note that this is a self directed assessment process where you are asked to provide evidence that you can successfully achieve competency in each of the units.  However students should be aware that Recognition is not a learning process, it is an assessment process. We make no guarantee that students will receive the full qualification through Recognition, however every effort will be taken to provide further learning outcomes and/or appropriate and flexible assessment models.

Depending on the number of units RPL is granted for, will determine the final fees owing for enrolment into remaining units of competency within each course. 

If you feel you would like to apply for RPL please download the relevant Course RPL form from our website, complete the application form and lodge with your payment (This is a non-refundable fee) and Adept’s Registration Form to arrange an RPL interview with Adept Training staff.
