Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer (CT)

Credit Transfer

If a certificate or statement of results is produced and verified, a credit transfer process will be initiated by OIC (Orange International College) in relation to the units as per the training plan.
“Credit transfer is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit outcomes for components of a qualification based on identified equivalence in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifications.” (Source: AQF)

RPL/RCC

At enrolment of all learning programs OIC’s code of practice states that all candidates for assessment will be offered RPL. This is reiterated in the student handbook and acknowledged in writing.

RPL is an assessment process that assesses an individual’s non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual has achieved the required learning outcomes, competency outcomes, or standards for entry to, and/or partial or total completion of, a qualification.

“Recognition of prior learning is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual’s relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for credit.” (Source: AQF)
