• We understand that you may already have many skills and areas of expertise that you have obtained in different ways and these are recognised through our Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process.
• We have developed an RPL application kit for this course.
• The Student Handbook provides more information about our RPL process. Alternatively, you can liaise with our administration staff to gain more information.

• Students are not required to repeat any unit or module 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 a unit or module at any RTO, then they will be credited for that unit.
• In the case of any non-equivalent units of competency, an analysis will be undertaken to determine the equivalence of the study with the relevant units offered at INT Nurse Training before granting credit.
• Please note that providing credit for previous studies is not recognition of prior learning (RPL). RPL is an assessment-only pathway of determining the competence of a person, while proving credit is recognising the equivalence in content and learning outcomes between different types of learning and/or qualifications previously undertaken and completed successfully. 

• The duration for the course is maximum 12 months.

Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital (LLND) skills assessment

In accordance with regulatory requirements, all domestic students must complete a Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital (LLND) skills assessment prior to enrolment into any training product at INT College.

The purpose of this assessment is to identify any reasonable support needs by reviewing each student’s current foundation skill levels in relation to the requirements of their chosen training product. This process enables INT College to provide appropriate support strategies and ensure learners are set up for success throughout their course of study.
