Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Prospective learners will be made aware of the RPL policy and process prior to enrolment into the program, via discussions, orientation, Pre-Enrolment and Post Enrolment student information, and the Unity School’s website.
Learners can demonstrate competency through formal, non-formal and informal learning:
- Formal learning refers to learning that takes place through a structured program of instruction and is linked to the attainment of an AQF qualification or statement of attainment (for example, a certificate, diploma or university degree);
- Non-formal learning refers to learning that takes place through a structured program of instruction, but does not lead to the attainment of an AQF qualification or statement of attainment (for example, in-house professional development programs conducted by a business); and
- Informal learning refers to learning that results through experience of work-related, social, family, hobby or leisure activities (for example the acquisition of interpersonal skills developed through several years as a sales representative).
Learners are encouraged to apply for RPL prior to or immediately after formal enrolment but prior to the facilitated delivery of units to ensure that they do not miss any class/workshop opportunities offered should they be unsuccessful in the RPL process.
Credit Transfer
Unity School recognizes the AQF Qualifications and Statement of Attainments issued by any other Registered Training Organisation.
Assessment
A range of assessment strategies is employed for this qualification and the choice of strategy is dependent on the nature of the unit of competency. Strategies may include but not limit demonstrations, observation, projects, presentations, knowledge tests, reports and interviews.
