Clinical Placement is a mandatory part of this unit.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment of skills and knowledge you’ve acquired through previous training, work or life experience which are relevant to your course. RPL allows your provider to assess your existing competency against the requirements of the course. You can be granted part or all of a unit of competency by RPL. You can apply for RPL after enrolling.

You need to supply evidence to prove your skills and knowledge. You can use a variety of evidence to apply for RPL such as:

• records of completed training
• assessment items
• assessment records
• declarations from your employer

RPL will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, however, a direct transition between units HLTEN507A, HLTEN507B and HLTEN507C have been established and, without additional assessment, the costing for this transition is outlined below:

ANMF Members: $1800

Non ANMF Members: $2000
