such as student services and training and

assessment services.

be within ten (10) days of receiving an invoice

from ANIMT. ANIMT may discontinue training if

fees are not paid in accordance with the agreed

fee schedule.

Once a student has completed enrolment, fees

extended by the student, then any fee increases

will be required to be paid for the extended

Recognition of existing skills and

knowledge

In accordance with the requirements of the VET Quality

Framework, ANIMT provides the opportunity for students

to apply to have prior learning, skills and knowledge

recognised, and counted in relation to the qualification or

units of competence for which they are enrolled.

What is recognition?

Recognition involves the assessment of previously

unrecognised skills and knowledge that an individual has

achieved outside the formal education and training system.

The recognition process assesses the existing skills and

knowledge against the requirements of a unit of

competence, in respect of both entry requirements and

outcomes to be achieved. By removing the need for

duplication of learning, recognition encourages an

individual to continue upgrading their skills and knowledge

through structured education and training towards formal

qualifications and improved employment outcomes. This

has benefits for the individual and industry. Most

importantly, it should be noted that recognition is just

another form of assessment.

Credit transfer for current

competence

Credit Transfer is the recognition of learning

achieved through formal education and

training. Under the Standards for Registered

Training Organisations, qualifications and

statements of attainment issued by any RTO

are to be accepted and recognised by all other

RTOs. Credit transfer allows the unit of

competency previously achieved by a student

to be recognised when they are enrolling in a

related course, where those units can assist

them in meeting the requirements for a

qualification. It is important to note that credit

transfer is not recognition of prior learning

(RPL).

If the student believes that they have already

attained units of competence from the BSB50215

Diploma of Business, they are encouraged to

inform ANIMT during the application process and

provide originals or verified copies of the relevant

qualification(s)/ Statement of Attainment.

ANIMT | 9

Issuing Certificates and Outcomes

There are three types of AQF certificates that ANIMT can

issue.

Statement of Attainment

A statement of attainment recognises that one or more

accredited units has been achieved. A statement of

attainment is generally issued when the student has

achieved one or more units of competency as a result of

completing a course which included units of competency

only or where the student achieved one or more units of

competency as part of an enrolment in a qualification

based course but the student did not achieve all of the

units of competency to receive the full qualification.

Qualification

An AQF qualification is the result of a student achieving the

units of competency for a qualification outcome as

specified in an endorsed training package or an accredited

course. A qualification is a formal certification that a

student has achieved learning outcomes as described in

the AQF. Technically within the AQF a qualification is

comprised of a testamur and a record of results. A

testamur is the actual official certification document that

confirms that a qualification has been awarded to an

individual. In Australia a testamur may also be referred to

as an 'award', 'parchment', 'laureate' or 'certificate'. Within

this policy, it is referred to as a qualification or an AQF

qualification.

Record of Results

A record of results is a record of all achieved units of

competency leading to an AQF qualification. In Australia

this may also be referred to as a 'transcript of results',

'academic transcript', 'record of achievement' or

'statement of results'. A record of results can be issued at

any time during a student's enrolment and is often used to

provide a student with a formal notification of their current

progress in a course in which they are enrolled. A record of

results is also issued with a testamur or AQF qualification

to specify the units of competency that were issued to the

student as part of the achievement of the qualification.
