Traxion Training specialises in delivering qualifications through online Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), designed for experienced professionals currently employed in their respective industries, allowing flexible study around work commitments.

Self-Reflection Questionnaire

Students begin by completing a self-reflection questionnaire to help identify existing skills and knowledge, determining whether they are eligible for RPL or if additional training is needed.

As part of the RPL process, students undertake a one-on-one competency questioning interview with a qualified assessor to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.

RPL Assessment-Only Pathway

All courses can be completed using an assessment-only pathway through RPL if the candidate possesses sufficient skills and experience, potentially significantly shortening training and learning duration.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

This pathway is designed for people currently working in the early childhood education and care sector who have accumulated relevant industry experience and skills. Before assessment begins, you complete a self-reflection questionnaire to confirm whether your background meets the eligibility threshold for RPL. Submit an enquiry to confirm the specific experience and work-hours requirements that apply to your situation.
The assessment draws on multiple forms of evidence: a completed self-reflection questionnaire, a portfolio of workplace evidence such as work samples, documentation, and third-party verification from a supervisor or colleague, and a one-on-one competency interview with a qualified assessor. The assessor uses this evidence to evaluate your skills against the requirements of CHC50125. Submit an enquiry for a full list of accepted evidence types.
You begin with a self-reflection questionnaire that maps your existing skills and identifies any potential gaps. A qualified assessor then reviews your evidence portfolio and conducts a one-on-one competency questioning interview with you online. The assessor determines competency against each unit of the CHC50125 Diploma; if your evidence demonstrates competency across all requirements, the qualification is awarded.
For candidates currently employed in the early childhood sector with sufficient relevant experience, the process typically takes approximately 8 weeks to 6 months. Duration depends on how promptly you can respond to the assessment kit and the strength of your evidence. This range applies only to eligible candidates; eligibility is confirmed before assessment commences.
Where your evidence falls short of the required standard for one or more units, gap training may be required before the full qualification can be awarded. Your assessor will identify any gaps during the evidence review process. Submit an enquiry to understand how gap training is managed and how it may affect your timeline.
A weekly payment plan may be available for this assessment. Submit a Get Course enquiry to receive current pricing details and confirm which payment options apply to your enrolment.

Yes. If your evidence demonstrates competency against all requirements, you are awarded the CHC50125 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, the identical nationally recognised AQF qualification as one completed through standard training.
