Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Credit Transfer (CT) and National Recognition

Prior to commencing the program any learning achieved through formal education and training (credit transfer) or, any learning achieved outside the formal education and training system (RPL) or, recognition of AQF qualifications and statements of attainment issued by training organisations registered in any Australian jurisdiction will be reviewed and granted as deemed applicable by the course coordinator.

RPL is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual’s relevant prior learning to determine the equivalent competency outcomes.

CT is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit outcomes for components of a qualification based on identified equivalence in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifications

Credit will be transferred for prior successful completion of units of competency.

You can apply for RPL or CT by arranging an interview with the Course Coordinator. This is best discussed on enrolment with the course coordinator so your individual plan of training can be adjusted prior to commencing.

Industry Placements

This course is industry based training and therefore participants of this course who are not employed within the industry, are required to undertake 120 hours of unpaid work placement. This will be arranged by your Course Coordinator with a local Industry provider.

A current Police Check and Ochre Card are necessary to permit placement and/or on-the-job training and assessment to be conducted. This indicates your suitability to work in this industry.

Up to date vaccinations are required for placement within the NT hospitals only and are recommended for all other services. The current list of required vaccinations are: Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Chicken Pox, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Pertussis, Tetanus / Diphtheria and Influenza (annually).

Travel and accommodation, where required for placement, is at cost to the student.

NB: several units require industry placement to demonstrate safe and competent practise therefore it must be understood this is not a theory based qualification.

Training and assessment arrangements

Training and assessments are conducted in English. Applicants must possess functional written and spoken English. No other prerequisite applies to this Course.

The classroom sessions will be four (4) hours per week over the course of up to twenty-eight (28) weeks, with optional blended learning, followed by the four (4) week work placement. Students should allow home study of a minimum of six (6) hours per week for the course duration. The Unit Delivery and Assessment Plan indicating the type and frequency of assessment, performance criteria and academic guides, will be provided at start of term.
