Learning outcomes
This nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualification is competency-based. This means that it is designed to enable you to develop skills and knowledge (competency) needed to perform the tasks you are training for.
Assessment in a competency-based program is about being able to demonstrate that you have developed these skills and areas of knowledge and that you can perform at the standard required at this level.
If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program e.g. through work experience, you can be assessed and have these skills and knowledge formally recognised at any point during the program. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
