Credit Transfer refers to the formal recognition of units of competency or qualifications that you have previously achieved through any Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in Australia. If you have already completed a unit identical or equivalent you may be eligible to apply for a credit transfer. To do so, you’ll need to provide:

  • Valid Evidence – A statement of attainment or official transcript showing the unit code and title.
  • Proof of Equivalency – The unit must match or be recognised as equivalent to the one in the course, as determined by current training package rules.

If approved, you will not need to repeat training or assessment for that particular unit, potentially reducing your overall study load and completion timeframe. If you have any questions regarding the credit transfer process, our team will be happy to provide guidance and support.

Mine Training Solutions offers Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment pathways for all of our nationally recognised units of competency and qualifications.  If you already have the skills, knowledge and workplace experience required for a unit of competency, you may be eligible to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning.

Our RPL assessments are designed around the requirements of each nationally recognised unit of competency, ensuring your existing skills and knowledge are assessed fairly, consistently, and against the relevant industry and training package requirements.

What’s included in an RPL Kit?

Each RPL Kit has been developed specifically for the unit of competency and includes:

  1. RPL Application – Demonstrate your qualifications, training and workplace experience relevant to the specific unit of competency for which you are applying for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
  2. Knowledge Questions – Demonstrate the underpinning knowledge required by the unit of competency.
  3. Evidence Portfolio – Your RPL Kit clearly outlines the workplace documents and supporting evidence required to demonstrate your competency. Simply source the evidence and upload it directly to our Learning Management System (LMS).
  4. Third-Party Report – Independent verification of your workplace performance by an appropriately qualified supervisor, manager or other authorised workplace representative.

 

Assessment Outcome

Your completed RPL submission is reviewed by a qualified and appointed Mine Training Solutions Assessor. Where additional clarification or evidence is required, you may be asked to participate in a Competency Conversation or provide further supporting documentation before an assessment decision is made.

Recognition of Prior Learning is not an automatic recognition of previous employment, years of experience or prior job roles. It is a formal assessment process that determines whether you can demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to meet the requirements of the nationally recognised unit of competency.

Contact Mine Training Solutions to discuss your qualifications, training and workplace experience. We’ll help you determine whether Recognition of Prior Learning is the most appropriate assessment pathway or whether another training option would better suit your needs.

The Mine Training Solutions workplace activities will require third parties (senior and statutory position holders (content experts/mentors) to verify practical skill demonstration for set activities and provide feedback on what was observed when the candidate performed the set work tasks.  Feedback from third parties is an important part of our assessment process.  Our ‘Third Parties’ are people who are competent in the task candidates are asked to carry out and provide mentoring, guidance and feedback.  The use of third parties promotes communication and consultation in the mining industry, which is fundamental for the application, implementation and maintenance of the mine’s Safety and Health Management System.

In addition:

  • Engaging experienced mentors encourages open dialogue and interaction among candidates, mentors, and trainers, thereby creating a cohesive learning environment.
  • Incorporating third-party insights fosters a culture of consultation, ensuring that safety practices and operational procedures are shared and understood across all levels of the workforce.
