Recognition of current competence

The recognition of current competence (RCC) process involves recognising a person’s existing knowledge and skills and assessing them against nationally recognised unit standards.

• Most industry training organisations (ITOs) offer some form of RCC but the process can vary.
• If you can demonstrate competency you can be awarded the unit standard on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
• The benefit of RCC for you is that you are not required to relearn or resit this part of your qualification so you can gain your qualification faster.
• Check the individual policy for RCC with your ITO or training adviser before beginning your application.
