RPL is an assessment process that assesses an individual's non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual has achieved the required learning outcomes. Credit Transfer is also available — if a certificate or statement of results is produced and verified, a credit transfer process will be initiated by AIA in relation to the units as per the training plan.
