Previous Study or Industry Experience

Students are encouraged to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for study taken at another institution; as well as time they may have spent working in a business environment. Approved recognition or credit for previous study or work, may reduce a student's overall cost and study workload, or duration.

THIS POLICY IS MOST COMMONLY APPLIED TO:

• Students who have undertaken some study at other universities, colleges or business schools looking to transfer, and gain the advantage of a higher level qualification

• Industry personnel with experience and some training, seeking qualifications with international recognition.

TO APPLY FOR RPL YOU MUST:

• Submit a full application to ICHM indicating that you want to apply for recognition of your prior learning

• Students will be required to submit certified English translations of all academic/other documents (e.g. curriculum) where necessary

• A grade of “status” will be given for those subjects where a student has been successful in applying for Recognition of Prior Learning

• Where recognition is not granted prior to commencement students will be required to attend classes until exemptions are determined

• As part of the recognition assessment, where students are unable to provide sufficient documentation and evidence, recognition cannot be granted

• A process of appeal is available in cases of disputes over decisions or refunds granted under these policies.

FEE-HELP

The Commonwealth Department of Education and Training has approved ICHM as a FEE-HELP provider. FEE-HELP allows Australian and other eligible students students to obtain student loans.

The Study Assist website studyassist.gov.au provides information for students about government assistance for financing tertiary study.

TUITION ASSURANCE

The Tuition Protection Service (TPS) is an initiative of the Australian Government to assist and support students whose education providers are unable to complete the delivery of their course of study. While provider closures are rare, when a provider does stop delivering a course it can be a worrying and uncertain time for students. The TPS is in place to provide information and assist affected students. In relation to ICHM, the TPS provides assistance and support to:

• International students on student visas

• Domestic higher education students accessing the Higher Education Loans Program (FEE-HELP)

• Domestic full fee paying students.

In the event of a provider default, eligible students will be supported to continue their studies in an equivalent or similar course, receive a loan re credit for open units of study, or receive a refund for their upfront payments made for an affected unit.

AQF

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is the national policy for regulated qualifications in Australian education and training. The AQF describes the equivalencies of Australian undergraduate and postgraduate degrees; the ICHM Master of International Hotel Management, Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Business (Entrepreneurship), Bachelor of Business (Marketing) and Bachelor of Business (Hospitality Management) are thus equivalent in standing to any Australian university degree.
