AVIR allows all students to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). AVIR has a methodical RPL process outlined in detail in the Student Handbook.

‘Recognition of Prior Learning’ (RPL) means an assessment process that assesses the competency/s of an individual that may have been acquired through formal, non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual meets the requirements specified in the training package or VET accredited courses.

• Formal learning refers to learning that takes place through a structured program of instruction and is linked to the attainment of an AQF qualification or statement of attainment (for example, a certificate, diploma or university degree);
• Non-formal learning refers to learning that takes place through a structured program of instruction, but does not lead to the attainment of an AQF qualification or statement of attainment (for example, in-house professional development programs conducted by a business); and
• Informal learning refers to learning that results through the experience of work-related, social, family, hobby or leisure activities (for example the acquisition of interpersonal skills developed through several years as a sales representative).’
  Students are encouraged to apply for RPL prior to or immediately after formal enrolment but prior to the facilitated delivery of units to ensure that you do not miss any class/workshop opportunities offered should you be unsuccessful in the RPL process. Students are given a Training and Assessment plan showing the units you need to complete and methods for undertaking learning and assessment in those units.
