INT College recognises prior learning and previous study through Recognition of Prior Learning and Credit Transfer processes.
Students who have existing skills, knowledge, work experience or previously completed equivalent units may apply for assessment through RPL or Credit Transfer.
Students are not required to repeat any unit in which they have already been assessed as competent, unless a regulatory requirement requires this. If a student provides suitable evidence that they have successfully completed an equivalent unit at another Registered Training Organisation, they may be granted Credit Transfer for that unit.
Where a previously completed unit is not identical, INT College may undertake an equivalency review to determine whether the previous study aligns with the relevant unit offered by INT College before Credit Transfer is granted.
Credit Transfer is different from Recognition of Prior Learning. Credit Transfer recognises equivalent formal study that has already been successfully completed. RPL is an assessment-only pathway used to determine whether a student already has the skills and knowledge required for a unit of competency.
Applications are assessed in accordance with INT College policies and evidence requirements. Students can contact INT College administration staff for more information about the RPL and Credit Transfer process.
INT College provides access to student support services to assist students during their studies.
Support may include:
- academic support
- language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills support
- student wellbeing support
- referral to external support services, where required
- assistance with understanding course progress and assessment requirements
- support with online and self-paced study
- support with practical skills development during face-to-face classes or practical sessions
- support to develop higher-level study skills required at Advanced Diploma level
- support with leadership, management, strategic planning, workplace communication and assessment preparation
