FAQs

Can I do a mixture of options?

Yes! All options are available if you enrol in our qualifications.

Depending on your learning style, you may want to do a mixture of self paced, RPL and workshops. This is a great way to get the most out of your qualification.

The best part is that even if you finish your qualification, you can still attend the workshops for your cohort!

What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?

Recognition of prior learning is available for those with industry experience. RPL is all about the skills and knowledge you’ve collected through your professional experience. If you qualify for RPL, this means you are provided with an opportunity to have the skills and knowledge you have developed outside the formal education system assessed and valued against qualifications frameworks.

Can I transfer to Brokerversity?

In some cases we can offer Credit Transfers of your completed Unit of Competencies. Check out this Credit Transfer article to learn more.

Is there a minimum time in the industry to qualify for RPL?

No! However, your eligibility for RPL is dictated by your experience, this means that if you have no experience in the finance and mortgage broking industry, you will not be eligible for any units to be gained through RPL. Many people who have 6+ months experience will be able to go through the RPL pathway.
