Recognition of Prior Learning and Credit Transfer
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that allows experienced individuals to gain a full
or part qualification by producing evidence of what they already know, can do, and have done.
RPL provides an opportunity for prospective students to gain recognition based on the skills and knowledge
they have recently gained through experience, as well as any training that have been completed outside of
formal training arrangements.
RPL has many benefits:
• Students can finish their training earlier
• It avoids duplication of training and maximizes its value
• It creates a learning culture by valuing and recognizing learning that has occurred in the workplace.
You may want to apply for RPL or Course Credit. For more information, please refer to the Campbell Institute
Student Handbook and discuss this with your Trainer/Assessor.

, Reasonable Adjustment
A ‘reasonable adjustment’ is an adjustment to the assessment process or materials that allows a
student with a disability fair access to the assessment, and fair opportunity to successfully complete
it. Adjustments must be reasonable and must not compromise the integrity of the assessment.
Examples of reasonable adjustment could include providing support to individual students, assistive
technology, modifying the assessment process or the format of materials, or adjusting the physical
environment.
Make sure you discuss your assessment needs with your trainer/assessor prior to the assessment.
Assessment Submission Requirements
Before you upload your assessment tasks, you are required to:
1. Submit your assessment tasks online in your unit Moodle
2. You will need to complete the Student Declaration in Moodle as part of your Assessment submission
