Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Students may apply for course credits, advanced standing or exemptions if they are able to provide evidence that demonstrates that they have attained competency. Competency may have been attained through formal and informal training, work experience and life experience. Applications must be made on an official Application form. Students should consult with the RTO Manager before making an application.
National Recognition and Credit Transfer
One of the most important features of Australia’s VET Quality Framework is the mutual recognition, between registered training organisations, of qualifications including Statements of Attainment. As a registered training organisation, the RTO must accept the credentials issued by another registered training organisation based in any State/Territory of Australia. Marriott Academy undertakes to ensure that all Certificates and Statements of Attainment issued by any other registered training organisation are, once verified, accepted as valid. Equally, the Qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued Marriott Academy will be recognised Australia wide under these arrangements.
Complaints & Appeals
Students may access the Complaints and Appeals policy through Marriott Academy’s website.
