My qualifications were completed in a non ICREPS country

For qualifications completed in a non ICREPS country 

If you completed your qualification in a country that does not have a registration body that is part of ICREPS, we may still be able to recognise your qualifications, reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Step 1. You will need to have a State or territory government Overseas Qualifications Units review your studies.

Step 2. Once this is obtained our Industry Standards and Development Team will then review your studies.

You may need to complete a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or university that delivers an AUSactive eligible qualification.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

If there is no direct portability agreement with the appropriate registration body from the country you have completed your qualification and for registration purposes you will need to have your overseas qualifications mapped out to the Australian Fitness Training Qualification through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that offers Fitness Qualifications.

You may be able to apply for RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) but you’ll need to contact an RTO directly about this as arrangements for delivery and RPL vary between RTOs.

RPL is an assessment process that involves assessing your formal studies completed to date to determine credit outcomes towards the Certificate III &/or IV in Fitness.

This would see the RTO reviewing your education, identifying any gaps when comparing to Certificate III &/or IV in Fitness, providing education to address such gaps and ultimately awarding you the Certificate III &/or IV in Fitness.
