Our in-house course writers and assessment team have accounting, bookkeeping and payroll experience or are currently working in the industry. With this in mind we try and make the tasks relevant to what you will experience in the real world. The purpose is not to just pass or fail, rather to become competent using these skills which you can then apply in the real world.

With this option you will put together a portfolio of your work to demonstrate a good understanding of the learning outcomes in the course. The portfolio will contain files such as payroll and BAS information, along with letters and reports that you currently use on a day to day basis.

  • Full list of evidence criteria

You will still be able to access all of the resources available to online self-paced students.

We find that for many students, RPL is a more complex process than completing the self paced study and doing the activities, unless you have sound experience in all the units of study and are able to provide a portfolio of evidence.
