 Course Credit
Course credit relates to the learning achieved through formal education and training. In this process the initial unit/unit of competency/module is assessed against the new unit/unit of competency/module to determine the extent to which it is equivalent to the required learning, competency outcomes, or standards in a qualification.

AIFE will recognize the AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by another RTO.

Applications for course credit will also be considered from students who can provide other evidence of competency in the units of the course. This should be provided on or before enrolment.

Applicants are advised that the granting of course credit may result in the shortening of the duration of their student visa. 
 
 Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Recognition of Prior Learning relates to the learning achieved outside the formal education and training system. It is an assessment process that assesses the individual’s non-formal and informal learning. This may include any combination of formal or informal training and education, work experience or general life experience 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.
