Are you considering enrolling in the Level 3 SIA Trainer Course, but wondering if your previous qualifications can be used towards the training?
This is a common question that many potential students ask, and the answer is yes, it is possible to apply credits from previous qualifications towards this course.
In this article, we’ll explore how this works and what you need to do to take advantage of this opportunity.
Can I Use My Previous Qualifications Towards the Level 3 SIA Trainer Course?
The short answer is yes, you can use your previous qualifications towards the Level 3 SIA Trainer Course. Advance Training recognizes that many students may have already completed training or have relevant work experience that can be applied to the course. This is why we offer a process called “Recognition of Prior Learning” (RPL).
RPL allows students to submit their previous qualifications and work experience for assessment, and if they meet the requirements, they can receive credits towards the Level 3 SIA Trainer Course. This can save you time and money, as you won’t have to repeat training that you’ve already completed.
How Do I Apply for RPL?
To apply for RPL, you’ll need to submit an application to Advance Training. This application should include details of your previous qualifications and work experience, along with any relevant documentation, such as certificates or transcripts.
Our team will review your application and assess whether your previous qualifications and work experience meet the requirements for RPL.
If your application is successful, you’ll receive credits towards the Level 3 SIA Trainer Course. These credits can be used to offset the cost of the course, reducing the amount you need to pay.
In some cases, you may even be able to complete the course more quickly, as you’ll have already completed some of the required training.
What Qualifications Are Eligible for RPL?
Not all qualifications are eligible for RPL, so it’s important to check whether your qualifications meet the requirements.
Generally, qualifications that are related to the security industry and have been completed within the last five years are eligible for RPL. This includes qualifications such as:
- Security certifications
- Training qualifications
- Work experience in the security industry
How Many Credits Can I Get Through RPL?
The number of credits you can receive through RPL varies depending on the qualifications you submit.
Each qualification is assessed on its own merit, and the number of credits awarded will depend on the level of the qualification and how closely it aligns with the Level 3 SIA Trainer Course.
In some cases, you may be able to receive up to 50% of the credits required for the course through RPL.
This can significantly reduce the amount of training you need to complete and can help you become a certified security trainer more quickly.
