We're committed to your outcome — and we back that with our refund policy.
Our navigators support you through the process to help ensure your portfolio meets the RTO's requirements before it's submitted. If the RTO finds your application ineligible after portfolio submission, you may be entitled to a refund of fees paid to ATSR, in accordance with our and the RTO's refund policy.
Yes, if you're already working in community services your experience can be formally assessed against the Diploma instead of you having to complete a full training course. ATSR supports you through building your evidence portfolio, while the formal assessment is conducted by our partner RTO.
You need enough documented, real work experience to show you meet the diploma's requirements — things like work samples such as programs, reports or policies you've authored, references from managers or partner agencies, and records like meeting minutes or rosters that show your coordination work. It's the breadth and depth of what you've done in the role that matters to the assessor.
Yes, it's the same nationally recognised Diploma of Community Services issued by an ASQA-registered RTO, no matter which pathway you take to get it. RPL simply recognises the skills you already have through a formal assessment process rather than classroom delivery.
A Diploma of Community Services through RPL gives you the same formal qualification that case coordinator, community services coordinator and family support worker positions typically look for. It's a way to have coordination and casework experience you've already built recognised in a form the sector accepts.
