Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
WHAT IS RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that acknowledges an applicant’s skills and knowledge, gained through previous study or work experience. RPL assists to reduce tuition fees and study loads, ensuring students don't repeat units they have already covered.
LCI Melbourne will grant RPL if an applicant's prior learning is relevant to the program, and they can demonstrate this. Successful applicants will receive an ungraded pass in the units they are exempt from.
APPLYING FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)
If you’re seeking credit for study you did at LCI Melbourne, we’ll use your academic record to assess how much credit you should get. There’s no need to supply additional information.
If you’re seeking credit for study you did at another institution, your application for credit must include the following documents:
| Academic Transcript If your transcript isn’t in English, please provide a translated copy that has been certified. |
| Explanation of Results Education providers express academic results in different ways. If your transcript does not include an explanation, you can include a link to the relevant page on the institution’s website. |
| Course Outline This must detail learning outcomes and assessment criteria for your previous studies. Course outlines may be an extract from a subject guide, handbook, or syllabus. |
If you’re seeking credit for prior work history, you must submit a CV and ensure relevant tasks or roles are directly related to the learning outcomes of applicable units.
APPLYING FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)
If you have completed or are studying one of the following, you may be eligible for RPL:
- Applicants who have completed Vocational Education training.
- Applicants with Higher Education study.
- Applicants with prior creative industry (or relevant) work experience.
Please see below the LCI Melbourne RPL Application Form with further details.
In the spirit of reconciliation LCI Melbourne acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.
LCI Melbourne pay respects to the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people and acknowledges them as the Traditional Owners of the land on which our campus is situated. We recognise this as a place of special significance for the Indigenous community.
We pay our respect to Elders past and present and future. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.
