RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning)
Students are required to have access to a workplace and/or team environment, ideally to apply business and operational principles; this may include a previous workplace. You need access to a computer and an internet connection. The program is best suited to those with some workplace experience to apply their learning to.
Regardless of the chosen study method, all of our students at Scope Training are assigned to a staff member for ongoing support via phone, email or virtual meetings as required through to completion of their qualification. We encourage students to maintain regular contact with their training consultant to get the most out of their studies.
Upon successful completion of 12 chosen units, participants will be awarded the Diploma of Business BSB50120. The Diploma of Business is highly regarded as the industry standard in the recognition of executive officers, program consultants and program developers. Participants will undertake learnings to sharpen their skills (as per key skills section) as well as the opportunity to apply business skills and concepts to work-based situations. This will provide participants with the skills they need to work effectively within the business environment as well as the confidence to apply them in a practical setting.

To attain the Diploma of Business through RPL is a 3-step process:
- Step 1 – Suitability assessment: Scope reviews your resume/experience summary to determine if RPL is appropriate.
- Step 2 – Evidence gathering: You work with Scope to show your experience and knowledge meet the requirements of the Diploma. Evidence types include Meeting Agenda, Meeting Minutes, Stakeholder Communications/Plan (prior to and after meeting),Meeting Attendance Sheets, Copies of Presentation/Handouts and other documentation, and Operational plans.
- Step 3 – Award of qualification upon successful assessment.
Note: If you have never worked in a position leading a team or supported a manager, RPL would not be an appropriate pathway. In that case, online enrolment is the recommended route.
