Yes, upon enrolment of all learning programs, AIA's code of practice states that all candidates for assessment will be offered RPL. 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, competency outcomes, or standards for entry to and/or partial or total completion of a qualification. Credit Transfer (CT) 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.
