Recognising Prior Learning (RPL)

Your experience matters

Your experience matters and at Activ Pathways we are committed to recognising this.

Credit Transfer

Credit Transfer (CT) is the process of granting a unit of competency or an equivalent unit that you have previously completed with Activ Pathways or another RTO. Completion of this study must be verifiable via a USI transcript or with the training provider.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) involves assessing your skills and knowledge attained through formal training, life experiences and/or previous work by providing evidence of that experience to Activ Pathways.
This may then be credited toward achievements of units of competency as part of a qualification, removing the need for you to complete those particular units as part of the course.
During your application and Pre-Training Review process an Activ Pathways representative will discuss these options with you.
You can find out more about RPL in each state using the links below:
If you feel you have prior learning to be assessed and have questions, please contact us.
