Veteran Business Community
Proudly Partners with Veteran Business Community
At Asset College, we are delighted to announce our partnership with the Veteran Business Community (VBC)- a dedicated network supporting Australian Defence Force (ADF) veterans and their families in building and growing sustainable businesses. VBC aims to increase the exposure of veteran-owned businesses and provide accessible resources for these businesses to thrive.
This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting veterans in their journey as entrepreneurs and business leaders. This partnership allows us to extend our support beyond employment pathways, ensuring veterans have the resources to succeed in their careers.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment pathway offered by Registered Training Organisations such as Asset College for individuals to gain a nationally recognised qualification.
Generally, to achieve a qualification you would undertake a training program followed by an assessment process. The RPL pathway is a substitute for the standard assessment process for individuals who have gained the same knowledge and skills through their experience rather than through a training program. This process recognises that experience can be as valuable as undertaking training. For example, you may have practical experience managing a unit of defence personnel, but no formal qualification in management. Through the RPL process, you could be awarded a Diploma of Leadership & Management.
We understand that people acquire knowledge and skills from other training programs (both accredited and non-accredited), employment within various industries as well as participation in voluntary, social and recreational activities. By documenting and assessing this experience (or prior knowledge), our assessors may be able to align this experience to competencies in the Australian Qualifications Framework.
In cases where an applicant can supply evidence that aligns completely with the requirements of the unit or qualification applied for, Asset College can issue the relevant Qualification or Statement of Attainment without the candidate requiring further training/assessment.
