Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)/ Recognition of Current Competency (RCC)

If you believe you already have the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate competency you can request RPL/RCC.  It does not matter whether you acquired your skills and knowledge through informal learning, work experience and/or life experiences.

To request RPL/RCC you will need to:

  • Read your course information and talk to the principal if there is anything you need explained.
  • Collect and complete the Request for Recognition of Prior Learning form from the office.
  • Check your skills and knowledge for each unit of competency.
  • Collect your evidence to show your competence.  Your evidence must be valid (as described in the unit of competency), sufficient (enough), current (up-to-date) and authentic (your own work).
  • List the types of evidence you have for each unit of competency.
  • Present your evidence and the list of evidence to the principal for assessment.

The assessor may ask you to undergo a challenge test.  You will be provided with a written report on the outcomes of assessment of your application for RPL which you will be required to counter sign.  This report will be filed in your personal file.

Where RPL is granted before the issue of a student visa via Victory Institute of Professional Training, the net course duration (as reduced by RPL) will be indicated on the eCoE issued for that student.

Where RPL is granted after a student visa is granted, the resulting change of course duration will be updated via PRISMS.

The Victory Institute of Professional Training does not charge for the processing of the RPL application. However, a fee of $150 does apply when making an application for RPL.

Please note that if a student is granted RPL there will be no reduction in the total course fee.

National Recognition

The Victory Institute of Professional Training recognizes relevant AQF qualifications and / or Statements of Attainment issued by any other RTO.  We reserve the right to verify the authenticity of such documents as required and to determine the currency of the units of competency/modules indicated on the transcript.

Issuance of Qualification

On successful completion of all units of competency you will be issued with a full AQF qualification and transcript of competencies achieved.

If you do not complete the entire course of study a Statement of Attainment will be issued for successful completion of individual units of competency.
