Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Self Assessment
One of the key objectives of the new Diploma program in Dairy Science and Technology is to facilitate pathways to formal qualifications that are based on, or include, prior learning that has occurred outside formal education and training.
Our investigations have shown that many people in the dairy processing industry have extensive and relevant experience and knowledge that could easily be recognized through the Recognition of Prior Learning process.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) provides you with:
- The possiblility of gaining 100% of a qualification without further study
- Less time studying
- Earlier completion
- No need to study the same thing twice
- Help to meet the entry requirements for higher level qualifications
When you enrol into the Diploma, the skills and experience you have gained from school, formal and informal training, employment, work experience, life experience and other qualifications can be assessed for credit against the qualification.
It is best to apply as early as possible in your enrolment and Self-Assessment is a great way to work through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). The process involves comparing your skills, qualifications and experiences with the competencies contained in the qualification that you seek. You can access our Self Assessment Kit designed to help you prepare your application from the link below.
When you have completed the self assessment, simply e-mail it back to us and we will contact you to discuss the outcomes in detail.
