Credit Transfer is available for unit of competency RIIMPO334E Conduct skid steer loader operations using attachments. Credit Transfer is a process that grants credit for Units of Competency previously achieved through formal and accredited training. To obtain Credit Transfer for individual units of competency that have been completed previously, students must provide the enrolling officer with official transcripts for Units of Competency achieved within a nationally recognised qualification at the time of enrolment. These transcripts will be verified and applied where relevant.

Skills Recognition, commonly referred to as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), is an assessment process that evaluates an individual’s formal, non-formal, and informal learning to determine the extent to which the individual has met the competency standards.

All students must complete an enrolment. You will receive further information from Lexmar Training to begin your enrolment process.
