Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
RPL is a formal process that recognises skills developed through previous training, work or life
experience, which match a unit of competency in a training course. If you believe you already have
the skills covered in this unit of competency, discuss this with your trainer, who will provide you with
instructions for applying for RPL.
National Recognition / Credit Transfer
Qualifications or statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations are
recognised by the College. Where this unit of competency is equivalent to a unit of competency
previously completed with another provider, credit transfer will be offered and the course length
adjusted accordingly. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the relevant evidence of
qualifications or statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations, which
will be verified by the College prior to credit transfer being applied.
Support Services
Your trainer/assessor is able to clarify any aspect of an assessment task prior to it being
administered. This may include clarifying: knowledge and skills covered during the training
program; the meaning of written assessment questions; performance standards for practical
assessments; and marking criteria.

Once the assessment process has commenced however, the assessor is not able to provide any
intervention or guidance, unless it is to prevent an unsafe act from being performed.
Please ask for help when you need it, as your trainer/assessor may not be aware that you have not
understood aspects of the training program, or are not feeling confident enough to engage in
assessment activities.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of others and presenting them as your own. Plagiarism is a type
of intellectual theft. It can take many forms, from deliberate cheating to accidentally copying from a
source without acknowledgement. In your assessments you must come up with your own ideas,
however, at times you may need to make reference to work that has been conducted by others.
Important points to be aware of:
 Know what plagiarism is – refer to http://www.plagiarism.org/ for more information
 Reference your work / acknowledge all of your sources
“All of the following are considered plagiarism:
 turning in someone else's work as your own
 copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
 failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
 giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
 changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
 copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work,
whether you give credit or not...”
