Upon completion of a single unit, a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment will be issued and CPD credits may be applied to your CPD transcript.

Where a unit is available across multiple qualifications levels (such as BSBRSK501 Manage Risk), the fee will be charged according to the lowest qualification in which the unit appears. Qualification level Single Unit Fee ACP Member s Single Unit Fees* Diploma $445 $300 Advanced Diploma $705 $300 Recognition of Prior Learning For persons wishing to apply for RPL, please contact the College for an RPL Kit. Once you have perused the RPL kit you are invited to have a discussion with a College assessor where he/she will give you guidance about your eligibility for RPL, which units to submit your RPL application for, evidence collection etc. You then proceed to complete your RPL application. Recognition services have an application fee of $90 which is payable upon submission of your completed RPL Kit. This covers 2 hours of your assessor s time. Your College Assessor will advise you of the outcome of your application and then provide options for completing the course. One of the following options may apply: After reviewing your application, your assessor may advise you that a significant amount of the RPL you have applied for is able to be granted, and will quote for completion of the recognition service, any further training requirements and issuance of qualification. If some RPL is granted, your assessor will proceed with your enrolment and invoice your course fees, deducting the pro-rata value of the units you have been awarded RPL for. If little or no RPL is granted, you may enrol in the full qualification and the RPL fee will be credited towards your course fees. Direct Credit Direct credit is different to RPL. Direct credit is where you are automatically given credit for units you have already completed in another course or with another training provider. There is no charge for direct credit, and your course fees will be reduced on a pro-rata basis if you are eligible for direct credit. Direct credit can only be given for units which are nationally recognised (ie: programs delivered by a TAFE institute or a Registered Training Organisation) and directly map to units in the College s courses. Course and unit codes change with each upgrade or change to their relevant training packages, so even if the code is different you may still be eligible for credit. If you are unsure, please ask your assessor. Australian College of Pharmacy Ltd
