A student’s program is considered to have been completed when a successful academic program, with a determination of COMPETENT in 20 UOC, is achieved in the designated duration of 80 training and assessment weeks.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) - is the formal recognition of the skills and knowledge a person has regardless of how or where these skills may have been attained, that is, through formal or informal training work experience, (paid and unpaid) or voluntary work, and life experience. The evidence provided for RPL must address the currency of competencies being assessed. Glenhill College confirms that all students, potential or actual, of all offered qualification courses are provided with full recognition of their current skills and knowledge. Glenhill College promotes acknowledgment of 'non-traditional' forms of learning as valid pathways for recognition of competency achievement during the RPL assessment process. RPL will result in exemptions, and they can be determined by applying for an application from you.
To maintain satisfactory course progress for the program duration, a student is expected to maintain satisfactory attendance (80%), as well as participate in classroom learning activities. Students are also required to successfully complete all their assessment tasks and achieve a pass of not less than 70% throughout the program. This represents satisfactory course progress.
