FAQs
What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?
RPL is an assessment only process for experienced workers who are seeking formal recognition of their existing skills and knowledge.
What is Credit Transfer
Credit transfer (sometimes known as advanced standing) is awarded when a student has completed the units required for a qualification at another Registered Training Organisation. This may reduce the amount of time it will take you to gain a qualification and reduce the overall cost. ACCCO provides credit transfer free of charge.
