Partial RPL
When registering for a course you may be eligible to apply for RPL, CT or RCC for selected units. What this
means for you is that you may not have to complete all the required training, if you are eligible for recognition.
An accredited course is compiled of several units of competency, a partial RPL is where a student applies for
recognition on selected units rather than all the units.
If you have prior qualifications and/or current industry experience that you think may be relevant to the course
you are interested in, then you should enquire!
