CHC33021 VIA RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)

WORKPLACE/ONLINE/CLASSROOM LEARNING

FLEXIBLE PAYMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE

What is 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.
Is candidate-centred and supports you, the Candidate (employee) to demonstrate your skills and knowledge under the observation of the Assessor in your day-to-day role within your workplace.
The Assessor works between you and your Employer to collect relevant workplace evidence including observation of skills, third-party (employer/supervisor) verification of workplace skills, relevant workplace documentation (portfolio), discussions (questioning) and workplace scenarios.
Is delivered to provide existing eligible workers (you) in the care and support sector with the opportunity to have your workplace skills assessed against the requirements of the CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support.

Gap Training

Gap Training is a way of filling in the relevant gaps in knowledge, skills, and experiences. For example, any units within the course that you don’t know how to do the assessor will gap-train you.

Additional costs include:

1-4 units – $500
5-9 units – $1000
10+ units – $1500

What is a Candidate-Centred Approach?

This approach is where candidates (in this case – you) are put in the centre of the RPL process (as opposed to the Registered Training Organisation dictating the process).

The goal of candidate-centred approach is for the assessor to build the supportive / mentoring relationship with you, in order to achieve the following:

A supportive process
Minimize the collection of paperwork
Use conversion and observations as the main means of collecting evidence
Using your workplace not the classroom to observe or enhance your skills and knowledge
An open and transparent assessment process, in which you are fully supported by an assessor

What people say about their learning experience with us

I was looking for a good institution for my career change and I found this wonderful company named Meditech. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I have started working while completing my studies side-by-side so I'm happy with Meditech.

I look forward going to class always. It is interactive. The modules are simplified so it's easy to understand and put to practice.

I found the course so helpful to gain not only a lot of knowledge but practical side of it so I would be ready to deal with real situations when I start working on the field comfortably. Sharyn and the team are inclusive and supportive, I do enjoy my learning experience at Meditech Learning College.
