Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Recognition of prior learning is about the skills and knowledge gained through work and life experiences.
Many of our students have part time employment, and this can be used as part of a
Recognition of Prior Learning application, towards the course requirement for such evidence.
School-based apprenticeships and traineeships
Students can enrol in a study program as a trainee or apprentice in an area of interest to them. This involves attending 1 day of paid work per week and completing the appropriate training, usually Certificate 3 level, in most areas of employment.

Unique Student Identifier (USI)
A USI is required for students undertaking nationally recognised training (qualifications, accredited courses, skill sets and units of competency) unless exempt. If you don't have a USI you will not receive your qualification or statement of attainment.
Having a USI will allow online access to a record of training since 1 January 2015.
