Recognition of Prior Learning, or RPL, means an assessment process that assesses an individual’s formal, non-formal and informal learning, and work experiences to determine the extent to which that individual has achieved the required learning outcomes, competency outcomes, or standards for entry to, and/or partial or total completion of, a qualification. RPL usually attracts an assessment fee.

Credit Transfer means transfer of credits from units of competencies achieved in formal and nationally recognised education and training system to equivalent units of competencies, satisfying the required competency standards. There is no fee for credit transfer.
