IHNA has a methodical RPL process, which is outlined in detail in the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Policy.
Prospective students will be notified of the RPL policy and process prior to enrolment into the program, via orientation, discussions, Student Handbook and/or through our website. They are encouraged to apply if they believe that they may be eligible.
Students are encouraged to apply for RPL prior to or immediately after formal enrolment but prior to the facilitated delivery of units to ensure that they do not miss any class/simulated lab practice opportunities offered should they be unsuccessful in the RPL process. Students are given an RPL kit showing the units they need to complete and methods for demonstrating competency in those units.
IHNA assessors who satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors and hold current registration as a Registered Nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, will assess the candidate's relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for credit.
