What are the Qualification Pathways?
This qualification applies to a variety of roles within the health care and patient transport system. Learners may progress from one Qualification to another by building on acquired skills and knowledge and do not necessarily infer that one Qualification is required for entry to another. Additional pathways between Qualifications may be structured through recognition assessment in line with Packaging Rules for Qualifications.
Assessment leading to an AQF Qualification or Statement of Attainment may follow a learning and assessment pathway, or a recognition pathway, or a combination of the two. Each of these assessment pathways leads to full recognition of competencies held – the critical issue is that the learner is competent, not how the competency was acquired. Assessment, by any pathway, must comply with the Assessment Requirements set out in the Training Package.
Is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) available?
Hume Health Education and Training has a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process in place which is discussed in details in the RTO’s Recognition Policy and Procedure.
Prospective students are informed of the RPL Policy and procedures prior to enrolment in the course and through a variety of means, including pre-enrolment interview, enrolment form, student handbook, and website.
