Entry Requirements 

RIC requires students to have 

•       Students must be 21 years of age on commencement of the course

•       A minimum IELTS score of 6.0 with no band less than 5.5 or equivalent

 If students wish to discuss any of their matter relevant to their entry and study requirements further, they are free to contact the college.  

Students must have the ability to undertake the training; which may involve physical activity and mobility, and a level of intellectual capacity of at least Australian year 12 level academic capacity. Applicants with physical disabilities, intellectual impairments, emotional issues or learning difficulties must discuss their needs with the Training Manager prior to applying for the course; and seek an assessment of whether they have the capacity/ability to undertake, and successfully complete, the course. Raymond International College has very limited support available for students with such needs. Whilst external support may be available to assist students with special needs, the RTO cannot guarantee that external support will enable a student with special needs to undertake all aspects of the course.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy:

Learners will be required to complete the Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment upon enrolment to determine their suitability for this course and to identify if additional support is required. LLN needs of students will be taken into consideration in the delivery and assessment of this qualification. RIC uses the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) to identify and describe an individual’s performance in any of the core skills (learning, reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy (at a point in time), so that training can be targeted to areas of need and an individual’s progress monitored over time.  The ACSF is also used to develop core skills profiles of learner cohorts. RIC will use on-line LLN test which is LLN ROBOT for this purpose.

A Unique Student Identifier (USI):

In addition, students, will need to provide RIC with their Unique Student Identifier number. A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number made up of numbers and letters, unique to each student. This USI allows them to link their previous and future VET qualifications into a single authenticated transcript, through the National Vocational Education and Training Data Collection, and prevents them from losing their record. This lets them see all their training results, from all their previous providers. A USI Number will stay with the student for life and must be recorded with any nationally recognized VET course they undertake.

Support Services

Educational and support services are available to meet the needs of the students. Support service is provided to all students who have any needs, questions or difficulties regarding their current training or guidance to their future career

(e.g. acknowledge needs through LLN test and PTR) and training (e.g. special circumstances and intervention strategies) to completing (e.g. financial plans) and guiding for future careers (e.g. career counselling). Student course progress will be carefully monitored and trainers will identify and report to the academic support staff\RTO Manger, if a student is facing challenges in completing projects and assessments, time management, research skills. Trainers

will ensure that academic support and counselling (where required) services are provided to these students. Students will encouraged to access additional support where course progress requirements does not meet.

Re-assessment

All students will be given an opportunity for re-assessment. Each student has three (3) attempts to achieve a competent outcome, including two re-submission attempts.

The re-assessment must be completed within the specified time frame provided by the trainer/assessor after assessment feedback given to the student by trainer/assessor.

If student is not able to achieve competency with these opportunities, student is required to repeat the unit at own cost which will also impact on student’s extension of study period.

In case of practical tasks like role-playing, student has to redo the task by arranging the time and date with trainer/assessor.

RIC’s Reasonable

Adjustments

In line with Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015, RIC will follow its Reasonable Adjustments Policy and Procedures for students who require a reasonable adjustment made to their training and assessment tasks for Units of Competency within this qualification to cater for their specific needs.  This process will be communicated to all students prior to their enrolment, at orientation, in their Student Handbook and as well as in Assessment tools.

Satisfactory course progress

Student must maintain satisfactory course progress. At a minimum, successfully completing or demonstrating competency in more than 50% of the course requirements in a given study period is considered to be satisfactory course progress. If academic progress falls below 50% for two consecutive terms, RIC will report student to the Department of Home Affairs for not achieving satisfactory course progress. Risk interventions will be implemented on ongoing basis to identify the students at risk and will organise a student support plan for individual students.

Course Credit

RIC can grant you credit towards your course for units of competency that you have already completed with another RTO or authorised issuing organisation. RIC can also grant you Credit for subjects or units you have completed where equivalence can be established between the unit in your course, and the subject or unit you have completed.

There is no charge to apply for Credit. 

To apply, fill in the Credit Application Form and submit it as part of your enrolment.

* Note that where you are granted credit this will reduce your course duration and you will be informed of this in writing. 

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where skills and knowledge that you have gained through work and life experience and other unrecognised training can be formally recognised.

RIC has a process that has been structured to minimise the time and cost to applicants and provides a supportive approach to students wishing to take up this option.  You should ideally apply for RPL at the time of enrolment but you may also apply up to 2 weeks into your course. 

During the entry process and interview stage RIC will discuss with you the process and options for RPL.  Suitability is often determined on how much experience you have in a certain area, your work history and previous training. If RPL is determined as a possibility for you, you will be provided with a kit that will guide you in working through each unit to determine relevant skills and experience and identify whether you would be able to provide the required evidence.

A trainer/assessor will be available to assist you throughout this process.  

* As an international student you should note that where you are granted RPL this will reduce your course duration and you will be informed of this in writing.
