Recognition of Prior Learning


Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

All prospective students have the option of submitting any relevant prior learning to be recognised by completing an RPL Application. This application (together with documentation) must be provided with your enrolment form. You may apply for RPL on the basis of:

  • Work experience, or
  • Other accredited training you have completed.

If you cannot provide sufficient documentation to support your claim for RPL for a module/s, you will be required to sit a skills test/s. All students who lodge an RPL application will be notified in writing of the outcome of their application.

RPL on the basis of work experience

If you are seeking RPL based on your work experience, you will need to provide the Academy with a detailed resume and duty statement. You may be asked to meet with the relevant trainer to discuss your application and/or undertake a skills test to confirm your competency. The skills test could be a written exam, an assignment, a production and/or an interview, or any other method of assessment that the Academy deems appropriate.

RPL on the basis of other accredited training completed

JMC Academy recognises qualifications for accredited training issued by other registered training organisations. With your application for RPL, you will have to supply certified copies of transcripts of accredited training you have undertaken. You may be asked to meet with the relevant trainer to discuss your application and/or undertake a skills test to confirm your competency. The skills test could be a written exam, an assignment, a production and/or an interview, or any other method of assessment that the Academy deems appropriate.
