RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING RPL / CREDIT TRANSFER

EMS Education & Training recognises qualifications issued by other RTOs. EMS Education & Training will accept and mutually recognise the qualifications and Statements of Attainment awarded by any other registered training organisation unless precluded by licensing requirements.

We can also grant you a Credit Transfer for subjects or units you have completed where equivalence can be established between the unit in your course and the subject or unit you have completed.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where skills and knowledge you have gained through work and life experience and other unrecognised training can be formally recognised.

Contact EMS Education & Training before entry to the course, EMS Education & Training will discuss the process and options for RPL. Suitability is often determined by how much experience you have in a certain area, your work history and previous training.
