Recognition of Prior Learning
All clients can apply for recognition of prior learning for any Nationally Accredited course of training.  Recognition of prior learning is the formal process whereby clients can be accredited for individual units of competence or entire qualifications due to previous vocational experience and knowledge gained.  For further information on this process contact The Learning Laboratory on 08 8231 2426.

The Assessments & Workplace Projects
To achieve the certificate, each participant must submit a variety of workplace projects as a form of assessment.  To maximise the value of the program, all assessments are aligned with ongoing business priorities.  For instance, a project could be to write an IT procedure manual that can then be used as a common business tool long after the training has been completed.
