CREDIT TRANSFER AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING
CREDIT TRANSFER
Credit transfer is recognition that you’ve previously completed a unit of your course through VET or higher education.
To receive a credit transfer for a unit you must provide formal evidence that you’ve previously completed the unit or a unit which matches in content and outcome. Formal evidence can be a qualification certificate or transcript, statement of attainment or your USI transcript. When credit is recognised, you don’t need to repeat training or assessment for that unit.
Application for Credit Transfer must be made at the time of enrolment.
RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment of skills and knowledge you’ve acquired through previous training, work or life experience which are relevant to your course.
At Pearsons School of Floristry, we offer RPL towards SFL30115 Certificate III in Floristry. To achieve the SFL30115 Certificate III in Floristry qualification, 21 units of competency need to be assessed.

- All applications for RPL will be provided with an RPL evidence kit which outlines the relevant units of competency and evidence requirements for the units being applied for.
- The RPL evidence portfolio kit outlines the procedure and timelines for completing RPL.
