The Skills and Learning Recognition, Credit Transfer and RPL (VET and Foundation) Procedure, edition 10, replaces the predecessor document (the Skills Recognition Application Procedure) that expired in June 2019. This Procedure outlines the process for monitoring and assessing Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) applications for individual units of competency at Melbourne Polytechnic. The procedure: • reflects a student-centred, consistent and coordinated approach to skills and learning recognition, particularly RPL, across the organisation • supports teaching teams and assessors to develop and implement suitable RPL assessment tools • provides for the case management of applications to reduce potentially lengthy response times • better captures and makes acknowledgement of the amount of work being undertaken by teaching teams when providing advice to potential applicants for RPL • considerably improves applicant and staff-facing documentation.Skills and Learning Recognition, Credit Transfer and RPL (VET and Foundation) Procedure
