International College of Auckland (ICA)

Engineering Department CRT and RPL Policy (Electrical, Civil and


Mechanical- Level 7)

ICA acknowledges that Skills, Knowledge, Attributes gained inside and/or outside
formal education or training should be recognised.

ICA has developed and reviewed its policy in-line with the NZQA guidelines for CRT
and RPL.

See http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/about-us/news/guidelines-and-learner-resource-for-
crt-and-rpl/

Engineering department CRT and RPL Policy for the 2- year diplomas at level 7
(Electrical, Civil and Mechanical) is given below.

• ICA considers applicants for both CRT and RPL at any stage of their studies,
but preferably at the time of enrolment application.
• For International students, where a CRT or RPL assessment takes place after
enrolment, and results in changes to the initial programme of study, ICA shall
inform Immigration New Zealand.
• Maximum 50% of credits may be awarded through CRT and RPL.
• Relevant information including application fee is provided to the applicant
before applying for CRT and RPL.
• Appropriate support and advice is provided to the applicant through
academic advisor.
• Assessment of the CRT and RPL will be conducted by independent assessor.
• Academic board will ratify CRT and RPL decision in its Scheduled meetings.
• Further details of CRT and RPL policies are separately provided below.

Credit Recognition and Transfer

CRT is critical to support learners along appropriate learning pathways. It is a process


whereby credit already achieved is recognised towards a new qualification. This may
occur on a case-by-case basis between ICA and individuals or as a structured
agreement between two or more organisations or TEOs.
CRT in ICA is the process of transferring and recognising credits gained in other
qualifications or components of a qualification to specified prescriptions of
Engineering department L7 prescriptions.

When ICA is assessing CRT application, the following shall be considered:

ICA/Policy and procedures for CRT and RPL


2
• Submitted documents are appropriate, clear, enough and in accordance with
ICA requirements.
• The CRT assessment focus is on the skills and knowledge held by the applicant,
which are embodied in a qualification or components of a qualification already
awarded to the applicant.
• There is a direct relevance between the qualification and components of the
qualification to relevant prescriptions of the programme.
• The level and credit value of the achieved qualification or component of a
qualification is not less than that for relevant prescriptions.
• It applies only to credits awarded to the applicant as a result of formal
assessment in a qualification or components of a qualification. It does not apply
to credits awarded as a result of previous cross credits.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Some learners have levels of skills and knowledge without a formal qualification.
They gain such knowledge and skill from several years’ work experience and
formal/informal education and training. The learners are able to demonstrate the
proficiency of their prior knowledge and skill through assessments to achieve credits.
This is called Recognition of prior learning (RPL).

ICA is able to recognise credits for such knowledge and skill through RPL process. ICA
shall recognise prior learning on the basis of prior experience, skills and/or
education.

RPL shall be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Learner shall apply for RPL through a
formal application to ICA. An academic advisor support and guidance will be
provided to the applicant to identify and select right prescription for RPL. An
independent assessor shall process and decide the eligibility of the applicant for the
RPL. Once the assessor approves the eligibility after an assessment of the learners,
the credit recognition and programme of study will be offer to the applicant.

Procedures

There is an increasing focus on the recognition of formal, informal, nonformal,


experiential and workplace learning that will enable people throughout their lives,
and no matter how they have learned, to have their knowledge, skills and attributes
recognised, credited and credentialed. The effective recognition of learning for the
award of credit assists learners to move readily between education organisations,
and progress in work and education without having to repeat learning or
experiences.
