Recognition of prior learning

At Momentum College, we make it a priority to recognise the skills, knowledge, and experience you already have. If you have studied before, or have relevant life or work experience connected to your course, you can apply for Credit Transfer (CT) or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Assessment

  • Online assessment: You’ll complete short answer questions, long answer questions, scenario-based questions, and multiple-choice questions to show what you know in different ways.

  • Case studies: You’ll complete case study questions that let you apply your knowledge to real-life examples. This gives you a chance to use your skills in a practical context.

  • Portfolio of evidence: During work placement, you’ll collect a portfolio of evidence to show your skills and knowledge. This portfolio will be made up of workplace documents, work samples, notes and meeting minutes.

  • Work placement assessment: During work placement, you’ll be observed and assessed in a real-time working environment or in a simulated environment that reflects workplace conditions.

  • Third party reports: Sometimes your assessor can’t be there to watch you work. Third Party Reports fills that gap by giving your assessor a clear picture of your performance from a supervisor or manager who has observed you in the workplace.
