Guidelines for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) & Credit Transfer Application

Who can apply for RPL and/or Credit Transfer?

Both students and prospective students may make an application for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

What is Recognition of Prior Learning?

Each Unit of the course has a set of performance outcomes that must be achieved before an applicant can be deemed competent in that Unit. The process of RPL involves matching what is already known and can be demonstrated with the performance outcomes of the Unit. If an applicant can show that the outcomes have already been attained for one or more Units, then the applicant will be granted academic credit for the Unit/s. Applicants will not be required to complete any further study for units granted full credit.

How is Recognition of Prior Learning Assessed?

Each of the Units of the Diploma of Counselling is listed within this booklet, including the individual Elements and Performance Criteria that make up each Unit. Please note that the Performance Criteria are listed under each of the Elements. The Elements and Performance Criteria describe acquired knowledge that students need to demonstrate upon the completion of each Unit.

In making an application for RPL you need to be able to supply evidence to the Institute that clearly demonstrates you have already acquired the specific knowledge and skills listed within ALL elements and performance criteria under the specific unit you seek RPL for. You may be awarded recognition of prior learning through relevant, documented work experiences, for example, through your employment, volunteer work, previous training, or from similar experiences.

NOTE: In assessing an application for RPL the Institute will take into account the relevance and currency of the evidence supplied and will only recognise prior learning to the degree the evidence shows that ALL elements and performance criteria under the unit has been met previously.

Mutual Recognition (Credit Transfer) of Qualifications The Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors recognises the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by any other training organisations. If you have previously completed any of the Units of Competency listed in the respective Course Outline for the course in which you are enrolled, you are able to apply to transfer competency of the unit/s towards your course with the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors. If similar units to those listed in the relevant Course Outline have previously been completed, you are able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning for the respective units.

How much will it cost?

If you accept the decision of credit awarded by the Institute, you are eligible to receive a $30.00 reduction in your course fees for each unit of full credit that you receive up to a maximum of $150.00.

This reduction will either be refunded to you if you have finished paying your course fees or will be subtracted from the balance of your outstanding course fees.

If you appeal against the decision of credit, the reduction in your course fees is forfeited to cover the time and cost of conducting the appeal. Additionally, if you decide to cancel from your course of enrolment, you will also forfeit any reduction in course fees that you have previously received through the RPL or Credit Transfer process.

RPL/ Credit Transfer Application Name: Jane Citizen Student No.: F14503 CHCCSL502A – Apply Specialist Interpersonal and Counselling Interview Skills Element 1 – Communicate effectively in counselling practice 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5.

In 1993 I completed a subject “Educational Counselling – LEB330” as a part of my Bachelor of Education degree. Within this subject I studied the components and functions of the communication model in detail. Throughout the course we regularly implemented the use of various communication techniques in counselling role-plays with other students.

Attachment 1 – Academic Transcript Attachment 2 – Subject Outline

Element 2 – Use specialist communication skills in counselling interviews 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6

Once again, as a part of the “Educational Counselling – LEB330” subject I learnt about and practiced; communication skills, sending and reading verbal and non verbal communication, reflective and active listening, clarification of information provided by the client, including paraphrasing, questioning techniques including open & closed questioning, and their purpose in guiding the counselling session verbal and non-verbal communication

During the subject “Educational Counselling – LEB330”, these sub-skills were practiced and their effectiveness in the counselling process evaluated. We also examined barriers to communication and experimented using these in counselling scenario’s for the purposes of seeing how they affect the counselling process. Various questioning techniques were practiced and evaluated in their effectiveness to draw information from clients and in guiding the counselling session.

During my work as a teacher and later as a business manager, I implemented these techniques daily in my work to effectively communicate with students and staff to gain and share information and ensure a harmonious environment and staff productivity.

Attachment 3 – Academic Transcript Attachment 4 – Subject Outline Attachment 5 – Staff Performance Evaluation

CHCICS405A – Facilitate Groups for Individual Outcomes

I completed this subject as part of a Certificate IV in Home and Community Care at TAFE.

Attachment 6 – Academic Record

Note: this is an application for credit based upon direct Credit Transfer.
