Administration Essentials
Assessment
William Angliss Institute trains and assesses students in compliance with national industry training packages and accredited course specifications. This means we draw on a whole range of teaching methods and approaches to help you learn.
The following are a few examples:
- specialist classroom delivery i.e. in our kitchen classrooms
- flexible delivery - distance education, mixed-mode delivery, online education, self-paced learning or self-directed learning
- online delivery - computer based learning, either on-campus or off-campus
- off-site delivery
- on-the-job delivery
- Assessment is recorded on your statement of results that you will receive following course completion.
To help us identify who may need additional assistance to achieve the competencies required in their course, we monitor everyone's progress during training. Students who are having difficulties may be required to undergo reassessment, during training or at the end of their course. Learning Support staff can help with language, literacy and numeracy support and assessment if required.

Recognition of Prior Learning
Skills recognition –also known as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that evaluates the skills and knowledge that you have gained from work experience, work based training, life experience and previous study. It allows your experience, skills and knowledge to be formally recognised.
To apply you will need to submit your resume and academic transcript of results electronically to the RPL coordinator for your relevant program area. You will then be advised if you are eligible for RPL and advised of the costs involved. You will receive customised information from the RPL coordinator then an interview will be organised. You will gather your evidence into an electronic portfolio format. You will submit your portfolio electronically then a final interview assessment decision is made.
Credit transfers
Students with previous, qualifications or Statements of attainment from other institutes conducting nationally recognised training may be eligible for subject credits. Students receive credit transfers for units completed that are identical to units within your William Angliss Institute course.
To apply you'll need to complete a Credit Transfer Application Form and give it to the relevant program area, along with copies of statements of attainment (results). You will also need to produce your original documents for sighting. Forms are available from the Information Centre, Ground Floor, Building A. and from the student management centres.
VET Hospitality Credits
Students who have completed all units of competency in VET Hospitality Units 1- 4, may be eligible for credit towards the Advanced Diploma of Hospitality for all units completed.
