Important
Information
RPL & Credit Transfer
National recognition is the process that recognises qualifications or Statements of Attainment issued by another Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that are the same as the competencies in the course you have enrolled in. This process is called credit transfer and Astute Training Pty Ltd recognises qualifications issued by other RTO’s once verified.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the acknowledgement of skills and knowledge previously attained through formal training, work experience and/or life experience. Recognition of Prior Learning may be applied for at the time of enrolment with Astute Training Pty Ltd you will need to provide certified copies of your qualifications or the original certificate(s) along with the RPL form provided by Astute Training Pty Ltd to allow Astute Training Pty Ltd to assess your eligibility for RPL. International students are advised of the RPL process at the time of application and again at induction.
In order to grant RPL, the assessor must be confident that the student is currently competent against the endorsed industry standards specified in the Australian Quality Training Framework accredited courses. Evidence could take a number of forms and could include certification, references from employers, testimonials and work samples. The assessor must ensure the evidence is authentic, valid, reliable, current and sufficient.
If you would like to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning or Credit Transfers please complete this form and email it to [email protected] or give it directly to your trainer.
Students are encouraged to discuss RPL with their trainer prior to starting the training course or as soon as possible into the training period. If after assessment the student is not satisfied with the decision, they should lodge an appeal in writing within thirty (30) days addressed to the CEO of Astute Training Pty Ltd. The portfolio will then be given to an independent RPL assessor for reassessment. The cost of the re-assessment will be borne by the applicant. The decision of the independent assessor is final.
Should a student require more information or need assistance make an appointment with Student Support.
Please Note- International Students
International students will be required to attend Astute Training Pty Ltd 20 hours per week for the duration of the course regardless of the outcome of your RPL application (a requirement of the National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students -The National Code).

Assessment Methods
Competency-Based Training
Assessment is an integral part of all training courses. At Astute Training Pty Ltd we collect evidence using Competency-Based Training from students which proves their ability to demonstrate skills, knowledge, attitude and application required to perform effectively in the relevant industries.
Competency-Based Training ensures that students have a portfolio of evidence collected by a variety of means such as:
- Classroom exercises and workbook activities
- Assignments and Projects
- Group Activities
- Verbal and/or written questions
- Written activities
- Observation in the workplace or simulated environment
- Portfolio
Qualifications are made up of Units of Competency (UOC) or subjects. The grading of your assessments will be Competent (C) which means that students have met the standard criteria or Not Yet Competent (NYC) which means a student needs some improvement. If a student is graded NYC the student will be given the opportunity to redo the assessment and achieve competence.
Assessment dates are provided on the first day of class via student timetables. Have a look at our Guide to Assessments at Astute Training Pty Ltd!
