Credit transfer and recognition of prior learning arrangements

The qualification developer will facilitate an initial regional event to introduce and present the qualification.
The qualification developer may appoint an external reviewer(s) to manage the consistency process, review consistency event outcomes, and prepare a report which will be distributed to the institutions and other relevant stakeholders.

Where recognition of existing skills and knowledge is required by the candidate, this will be arranged by the institution delivering the programme leading to the qualification.
To facilitate credit transfer, institutions must clearly demonstrate the equivalency between each of the outcomes in the graduate profile, and the assessment components of their programmes.
The minimum standard of achievement required for the award of the qualification will be the achievement of all the outcomes listed in the graduate profile.
