Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) & Credit Transfer (CT) at Whitehouse International College
At Whitehouse International College (WHIC), we value and acknowledge the knowledge and skills you’ve acquired through previous studies, work experiences, and life in general. This recognition can lead to fast-tracking your qualification in the BSB80120 Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning) in certain instances.
1. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL):
RPL is a formal process where your existing skills, whether obtained through professional experience, life encounters, or unaccredited training, are evaluated for the purpose of recognizing them in the academic realm.
Upon your entry and during the interview phase, our WHIC team will guide you on the potential for RPL based on factors such as your cumulative experience, training background, and professional journey.
If you’re a prospective candidate for RPL, WHIC will supply you with a comprehensive kit. This kit will aid you in navigating each module, enabling you to pinpoint skills that align and help you collate necessary evidence.
2. Credit Transfer (CT):
WHIC upholds the recognition of qualifications dispensed by other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). This implies that subjects or units you’ve previously tackled elsewhere can be credited if they correspond with those in our course.
We engage in a mutual recognition approach for qualifications and Statements of Attainment presented by other RTOs unless they conflict with licensing stipulations.
Unique Student Identifier (USI) Directive
Every student at WHIC needs a USI.
Instituted from 1 January 2015, any student partaking in Nationally Recognised Training by a Registered Training Organisation must possess a Unique Student Identifier (USI). This identifier, which is cost-free and can be procured online, will be a lifelong reference number that keeps a record of all nationally acknowledged Vocational Education Training (VET) that a student undertakes. For more on this, navigate to the official USI portal: https://www.usi.gov.au. Post-enrolment, students have the prerogative to either personally generate a USI or authorize WHIC to establish a USI on their behalf.
