Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) CHC43015 Certificate IV in Ageing Support
This qualification is delivered on behalf of Australian Academy RTO 31716
If you are an experienced aged care worker and would like to complete this higher level certificate, you may be able to do this using RPL.
What is RPL?
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is a process that assesses your competency—acquired through formal and informal learning—to determine if you meet the requirements for a unit of study.
You can use a variety of documentation to apply for RPL. This includes, but is not limited to:
- records of completed training
- assessment items
- assessment records
- declarations from your employer
Our training manager comes to your workplace to discuss RPL. A nurse educator will then meet with you to discuss what evidence is required to complete the qualification through RPL.
Sometimes there may not be sufficient evidence to complete the entire qualification through RPL. In this case you will be given the option to complete the units of competency that couldn’t be RPL’d through online learning.
About the Certificate IV in Ageing Support CHC43015:
This qualification reflects the role of support workers who complete specialised tasks and functions in aged services; either in residential, home or community based environments. Workers will take responsibility for their own outputs within defined organisation guidelines and maintain quality service delivery through the development, facilitation and review of individualised service planning and delivery.
Workers may be required to demonstrate leadership and have limited responsibility for the organisation and the quantity and quality of outputs of others within limited parameters.
