In accordance with the requirements of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, AbSec Learning & Development Centre (LDC) provides the opportunity for students to apply to have prior learning recognised toward a qualification or units of competence for which they are enrolled.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a form of assessment that acknowledges skills and knowledge gained through:
The main principle of RPL focuses on the outcomes rather than when or where the learning occurred. Evidence of competency is collected by the student and submitted to the nominated assessor and assessment is made based on the required industry standard within the relevant training package unit of competency.
AbSec LDC is committed to providing up-to-date and relevant RPL information to all students during enrolment and whilst enrolled. AbSec LDC staff will provide support and guidance regarding RPL enquiries.
All applicants for RPL will be provided with a copy of the relevant unit of competency and evidence requirements for the unit(s) being applied for.
Applicants who are able to provide satisfactory evidence that they have achieved the required unit(s) of competency may progress through the course with an exemption for the RPL units.
