RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING & CREDIT TRANSFER

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment only process. RPL captures evidence from a student who has already learnt in other courses, from life and/or work experience and from any training at work. This ‘Prior Learning’ must be relevant to one or more of the units of competency they are enrolling in. A student who is assessed through RPL as competent in a unit is not required to do that unit in the course.

If you believe you have completed a unit of competency in another formal learning experience, you may be eligible for a Credit Transfer (CT). You will have to provide a certified copy of the Statement of Results or Statement of Attainment through the enrolment process as evidence. If a CT is identified, you will not have to complete the unit again, or be charged for that unit.

Assessments

The Assessments are aimed at putting into practice the knowledge and skills you have gained during your training sessions. They form the evidence that will be generated by you, gathered by your Assessor and then used to make an overall judgement about whether you are ‘Competent’ or ‘Not Competent.

Evidence for assessment in this Qualification is gathered through a range of tasks, including:

  • Direct demonstration / observation
  • Written questioning
  • Verbal questioning
  • Simulation/scenario (problem solving)
  • Simulation/scenario (role play)
  • Project


Assessments may be conducted in your workplace or a simulated environment (ie training centre) at the time agreed to by you, your Assessor and your Supervisor (if applicable).

QUALIFICATION & STATEMENT

On successful completion of CPP20521 Certificate II in Fire Protection Inspection & Testing, students will be awarded a Qualification. A Statement of Attainment will be issued to students who partially complete the Certificate.

PATHWAYS & CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
