Nationally recognised qualifications
A qualification issued by Empower College will be recognized anywhere in Australia by employers
and other Registered Training Organisations. Each qualification you earn can be a pathway into
another qualification enabling you to build a portfolio of portable and transferrable skills and
knowledge.
We will recognize the qualifications issued by other Registered Training Organisations and have
processes in place for you to apply for credit transfer, if applicable, into one of our qualifications.
Competency-based training and assessment
Competency based training and assessment means you are trained and assessed for what you can
do rather than just what you know. We assess your competence through various means including
assignments, questions, simulations, and direct observation whilst on work placement, supported by
feedback from supervisors.
Recognising existing skills (current workers)
Do you already have experience in childcare? If you:
• work as an unqualified childcare educator and wish have your knowledge and skills recognized
toward a qualification
• hold a Certificate III and want credit transfer towards obtaining the Diploma
• have previous related study or experience in Children’s Services,
Empower College can assist you to gain recognition for part or all of a qualification. This is known as
recognition of prior learning (RPL).
To apply for RPL, note the request on your enrolment form, and complete our Application for RPL. If
you are unsure, contact one of our staff to discuss.
