Qualification Description
This qualification will be achieved through RPL assessment only. Applicants will have an initial consultation with the lead assessor from the Academy to ascertain their level of knowledge and skills.
For full RPL applicants, you will need to sit knowledge and practical assessments designed by the Academy. These will be conducted in your workplace with your supervisor. Chances are, you have already studied and conducted similar activities in your workplace. If this is the case, you are able to gather a combination of workplace documents, evidence of training courses, and letters of support from the workplace supervisor. The Academy will provide a list of what documents you can collect to fast-track the RPL process.
Evidence gathering can take time but you should be able to gather these documents in 1-3 weeks. If you do not have these workplace documents already you are required to sit the knowledge and practical assessments in the workplace. By allowing approximately 3 hours a week toward this qualification you should be able to complete it in approximately 6 months.
Applicants that already hold a Cert. III in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishings are able to credit transfer the majority of units thereby fast-tracking their RPL towards this unit of competency.
