Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) TAFE NSW - North Coast Institute recognises the skills and knowledge that you may have gained through previous studies, work and life experiences. When you commence your TAFE NSW course, the skills that you have learnt can be taken into consideration. We call this Recognition. Recognition for a unit of competency means you get advanced standing and will not have to study this unit of competency in your present course of enrolment.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) For specific advice on the evidence you need for a unit of competency, you should contact the relevant head teacher. If you are concerned about the effect recognition might have on employer requirements, your AUSTUDY or other benefits, you should speak with a counsellor.
