Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Learners with prior learning and work experience can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Learners who have completed corresponding units of competency and/or units contained within the packaging rules can apply for Credit Transfer.

Assessment Methods

Assessment is structured throughout the course. If learners are unable to achieve competency, additional support is provided through mentoring and access to re-assessment as outlined in the acumen’s policies and procedures. Learners who are working in an appropriate automotive mechanical related environment are able to base relevant assessment tasks on their workplace. This will be negotiated between the learner and the assessor. Assessment requires achievement across all tasks to demonstrate competence.

Assessment is carried out through a range of tasks like observations and written assessments
