requirements
Individual learner needs will be identified during the application process. Prospective students
will be required to apply to enrol and provide details of their current level of education, any
previous experience in the industry or previous education that may make them eligible for
recognition of current competence or prior learning respectively.
A pre-enrolment interview will then be carried out including a needs assessment of factors
such as length of time since last formal study, language and/or literacy issues, social and
personal constraints.
Where potential language, literacy or numeracy issues are identified through the application
to enrol process a LL&N assessment will be conducted to help identify support requirements.
This strategy has been developed in consultation with industry including:
•
Consultation
with industry
Recognition
of Prior
Learning and
National
Recognition

Qualifications
•
•
Direct liaison with employers over elective unit selection to determine which would be
most relevant to the work roles that successful students could undertake;
Discussion with specific industry bodies
Review of draft Training and Assessment Strategies and samples of associated
resources to validate them and to identify any changes required from an industry
perspective.
The recognition of prior learning procedure will be made known to students pre- enrolment.
If a student can demonstrate competency and provide sufficient, current, valid and authentic
evidence of work experience, life skills, study or via other evidence, then the learner will be
deemed competent in that unit of competency.
If a candidate has already been deemed competent by a Registered Training Organisation, in
a unit through previous study, a credit transfer will be awarded for that unit.
