Each student undertakes a one-on-one competency questioning interview with a qualified assessor as part of the RPL process.
Upon successful completion, students receive the nationally recognised CHC50225 Diploma of School Age Education and Care under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

This pathway suits experienced professionals already working in school age education and care, outside school hours care, or a closely related field. Eligibility is confirmed through an initial self-assessment questionnaire that identifies whether your existing skills and experience align with the CHC50225 unit requirements. Submit an enquiry to confirm whether your background meets the current eligibility criteria.
You will be asked to compile an evidence portfolio demonstrating competency across all units of the qualification. Evidence typically includes workplace documentation, references or third-party verification, records of prior vocational placement hours, and responses to competency-based questions in your one-on-one assessor interview. A qualified assessor at Traxion Training evaluates all evidence against the national training package.
The process begins with a self-reflection questionnaire to identify your existing skills and determine RPL eligibility. You then build an evidence portfolio, which is reviewed by a qualified assessor. The process also includes a one-on-one competency questioning interview conducted by your assessor. If any unit cannot be verified through your evidence, gap training may be required before that unit is finalised.
For candidates with relevant industry experience and at least 280 documented vocational placement hours across the required units, the process typically takes approximately 8 weeks to 6 months. The timeframe depends on the depth of your evidence, how promptly documentation is submitted, and whether any gap training is required. Submit an enquiry to get a realistic estimate based on your specific background.
If your evidence falls short of the competency requirements for one or more units, gap training may be required before those units can be assessed as competent. This is a normal part of the RPL process and does not mean the pathway is unavailable to you. Your assessor at Traxion Training will identify any gaps after reviewing your evidence portfolio.
Pricing is not published here as it may vary based on your circumstances. A weekly payment plan may be available. Submit a Get Course enquiry to confirm current pricing and payment options.
CHC50225 Diploma of School Age Education and Care is a nationally recognised AQF qualification for experienced professionals working in outside school hours care, vacation care, or related school age education settings. Delivered by Traxion Training (RTO 32254), this pathway uses Recognition of Prior Learning to formally assess the skills and knowledge you have already built through practice.
Rather than repeating training you already live daily, the RPL process evaluates your existing competency against the national training package requirements. Assessment includes a self-reflection questionnaire, an evidence portfolio, and a one-on-one competency interview with a qualified assessor. Where evidence falls short of any unit requirement, gap training may be required before that unit can be signed off.
Prior vocational placement hours are recognised, with a minimum of 280 hours required across relevant units of competency. If your evidence demonstrates competency across all units, you receive the same CHC50225 Diploma as any candidate who completed the qualification through study.
You don't need to have decided to get the answers. One short form, and the provider comes back with your fees, funding eligibility and a realistic study plan.
