Skills Recognition takes account of the skills and knowledge you have gained in these other ways.

What are the benefits for me?

If you can show that your skills and knowledge match those in a unit of study, you may not have to do that unit. You may save time, money and finish your course earlier, as you will not have to repeat the training. You can complete your qualification and get into the workforce sooner.

How does Recognition work?

To be granted Recognition in a unit, you need to provide evidence of the current skills and knowledge you have. A trainer matches this evidence against the units in the course you intend to do.

When should I apply for Recognition?

Recognition assessment costs less than training because you are not attending a class. So it's important to apply in time to complete the process before you enrol in your course. That way, you know if there are units you don't need to enrol in and pay for.

Who can help me?

Staff at the Kangan Batman TAFE Recognition Centre will support and advise you throughout the process. Also you can seek advice from your relevant teaching department.
