Recognition of Prior Learning - Enrol Anytime
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual's relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and life learning).
Australian Consolidated Training offers RPL for all accredited courses. For this qualification, four (4) years experience in a sports turf management role is indicative of success. For those who do not have four years experience, please contact us to discuss your options.

Apprenticeships
Australian Consolidated Training offers on-the-job apprenticeships funded by User Choice Queensland. This qualification is funded by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training for Queensland apprentices.
Apprenticeships are completed on-the-job with support from Australian Consolidated Training's highly experienced Trainers/Assessors. This model suits employers who do not wish to send their apprentices to block release training, and who would like to take an active role in the training of their apprentices.
This model does not suit all employers and the apprentice must have access to a qualified onsite supervisor who can mentor them and provide evidence of practical training.
Some units of competency may not be able to be taught in the workplace. In this case, some offsite training may be required.
Student Contribution Fees apply. Please refer to the "Apprenticeships" button below for more information.
Employer Fees
Due to the increasing costs of providing training services, an employer fee applies for all AHC Certificate III apprenticeships ($1,500 in total payable in two instalments)
