Cherson Training

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) recognises that some students already have extensive existing knowledge and skills before they start a course. If you believe you have extensive knowledge and skills in the course you are enrolling in you can request an RPL by completing an RPL request form. You will be expected to produce evidence of your knowledge and skills which could include certificates from previous training, your work history, references, documents from your workplace or other relevant evidence.

An assessor will then examine your evidence and compare this to the course you have enrolled in. For your RPL application to be successful, you must be able to demonstrate that you have knowledge and skills that are equivalent to the course you are enrolled in. If your application is successful, you will not need any further training or assessment for that course.

If your application is unsuccessful, your assessor may recommend you undertake all or part of the training and assessment for the course you are enrolled in.
