Certificate IV in Tertiary Preparation
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
About
The program develops your academic skills, knowledge and confidence, required to access and participate in higher-level qualifications, and enhances your further study prospects.
The program is designed as a pathway for school leavers who did not attain a required skill level, those who wish to change career, or for those of you who have not studied for some years.The objective of the Science stream is to prepare you for further study and to create pathways into the field of science.
To support this, upon successful completion of the qualification, guaranteed pathways are available (see Articulation and Pathways).

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 the 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), Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) and Credit Transfer.
