UPPER-INTERMEDIATE

I like Chambers Institute because the students and staff are very respectful and nice. I feel that

Chambers really look after the students and their experience in Melbourne. They do little special

things like Yogalates class, cultural activities, extra classes in the afternoon, and a friendly smile to greet you when you arrive. Chambers Institute is located

in a very central place in the city, close to everything.

rPl & credit trAnsferRecognition of Prior Learning (RPL)Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that allows the competencies applicants already possess to be recognised, regardless of how they obtained them. These might include skills they learnt on the job or from other life experiences that do not necessarily include formal training.

Recognition of prior learning suits people who have industry relevant:• Work skills or knowledge• Paid or unpaid work experience• Life experience• Community work experience

Recognition of Prior Learning could provide applicants with a full or part qualification, and avoid duplication of training.

However, there is cost related to obtaining RPL. The process, also, requires students to gather relevant evidence confirming their competency. It might take some time and should be done prior to the course commencement. If RPL is successful, it may impact on student visa conditions through a shortening of the student’s course.

credit transferCredit transfer is the recognition of any equivalent study you have previously undertaken. To apply for credit transfer, they are required to provide evidence of the accredited study.
