Brisbane Commercial College - Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning means that a student may be able to receive recognition for any previous learning they have done, regardless of where or how they acquired this learning. For example, you may have completed a certificate at a TAFE College, or you may have acquired skills through work, or even hobbies, you apply to get credit for these skills. You need to be able to clearly define these skills and provide evidence of them.

How can RPL help me? You may be able to shorten your course, or go on to more advanced lessons rather than waste time learning skills you already have

What kind of information can be used for RPL?

students can supply copies of results for courses they have done
students can submit a portfolio with samples of their work and references detailing previous skills or experience
even if students are unable to supply any of this information, they are still eligible to undertake testing to assess their skills.

How to apply for RPL? Students can obtain an ‘Application for Recognition of Prior Learning Form’ from the office. They would then meet with the Academic Director to discuss the RPL requirements. You will be required to show evidence and documentation related to the competencies being assessed.

All RPL applications must be submitted within four (4) weeks of the course commencing.

Mutual Recognition/Credit Transfer

Brisbane Commercial College recognises the AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations (RTO). Students with an officially recognised qualification or Statement of Attainment for one or more Units of Competency may apply for Credit Transfer for those Units. Students who wish to gain credit for already acquired training must formally apply by completing a Mutual Recognition (Credit Transfer) Application Form and bring their qualification and/or Statement of Attainment to a Brisbane Commercial College representative to be sighted. Once the Credit Transfer is approved, these units will not need to be undertaken.
