| Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) |
| RPL recognises what you have already learned from other courses, from life, or work experiences. If it is relevant to the course you are entering, and your skills are current, you may be granted exemptions for some parts of the new course. If you are granted RPL for part of your course, you pay an administration fee for those units not required to be studied, instead of the full tuition and resource fees. In the case of those people with extensive prior experience, this can mean a considerable saving, and your skills will be Nationally Recognised. |

The National Australia Bank Student Deferred Repayment Loan allows you to borrow money now, and start paying it back three months after you have finished your course. If you want, you can make small repayments any time during your course. A guarantor is required to support your application with all necessary paperwork handled at the National Australia Bank in the Queen Street Mall. |
