RPL Policy

ETETC Inc will conduct recognition of prior learning (RPL) in accordance with the National Assessment Principles.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows a person to receive recognition and credit for the knowledge and skills they have, no matter how and where they were attained, including overseas.

This can include skills from:

• previous study (including courses at school or college, through adult education classes or training programs at work);
• work experience (including both work that is paid and unpaid); and
• life experience (for example leisure pursuits or voluntary work).

All students enrolled in courses at ETETC Inc will be provided with a copy of the RPL information booklet outlining the stages in the RPL process. Recognition of prior learning is available to all trainees and will be undertaken in a manner that is fair and equitable.

Outcomes of applications for recognition of prior learning will be kept in the student’s file and the assessment records adjusted to reflect an RPL result.
