Students begin the RPL process with a self-reflection questionnaire to identify existing skills and knowledge, determining whether they are eligible for RPL or if additional training is needed.
All courses can be completed using an assessment-only pathway through RPL if the candidate possesses sufficient skills and experience as determined by the assessor, significantly shortening training duration.
The RPL process includes a one-on-one competency questioning interview with a qualified assessor to verify the student's knowledge and skills.

From enquiry to assessment outcome, step by step.
CHC51015 is registered on the AQF and delivered by Traxion Training (RTO 32254).
The CHC51015 Diploma of Counselling is a nationally recognised AQF qualification for experienced professionals working in counselling or related mental health support roles. Delivered by Traxion Training (RTO 32254), this pathway is an assessment-only RPL process, not a training course. A qualified assessor evaluates evidence of your existing skills and experience directly against the requirements of the national qualification.
The process begins with a self-reflection questionnaire to map your existing competencies and confirm your eligibility before any assessment commitment. From there, you build an evidence portfolio and complete a one-on-one competency interview with your assessor. Where evidence falls short of a unit's requirements, gap training may be required before that unit can be signed off.
The qualification you receive if your evidence demonstrates competency is the identical CHC51015 Diploma of Counselling as one earned through traditional study, carrying the same national recognition.
