Recognition of Current
Competency (RCC)
Participants undertaking any NCAS training programs may apply
for recognition of current competency. Such recognition will
be granted when stated learning outcomes and performance criteria
of the specific training program have been met. Recognition
of prior learning is based on the fact that people learn in
many different ways throughout their lifetime – through
work experience and life experience as well as through education
and training. Recognition of current competency takes into
account a person's skills and experiences, regardless of where
these were learnt. You can apply for such recognition if you
can provide evidence to demonstrate your competence in the
learning outcomes of your training course.
