RPL – Personal Trainers Course

To apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) or Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) for a unit of competency or the whole course, please follow the steps below.

Once completed, submit all applicable forms WITH your supporting evidence to [email protected] or mail: Suite 4/333 Mitcham Rd, Mitcham, Victoria, 3132 to: ‘Att: Program Manager – RPL Application’

An RPL application may take between 10-21 business days to process from when we receive your completed forms and supporting evidence. We will then map out your RPL, and email you with details of:

if an Initial RPL demonstration* is required,
any gaps that may need to further evidence, (including practical demonstrations*)
what RPL/RCC you have been awarded,
the units and/or assessment tasks you may still need to complete, and
the amended course cost (if applicable). This includes a price range for being able to provide further evidence (including demonstrations if required).

You must then approve and sign your RPL summary if you wish to enrol. Please note: All RPL applications will be processed and agreed PRIOR to your enrolment being approved.

*What is an Initial RPL Demonstration? – As I’m sure you will understand, there is a lot involved in mapping a person’s previous experience against the Training Package course requirements. An Initial RPL Demonstration is a chance for ACFB and yourself to see if you have the required skills and knowledge to proceed with the RPL application. Please note: This is only an Initial demonstration and does NOT form part of the demonstrations required for the RPL process. A course deposit may be required if your RPL application includes practical demonstrations.
