Recognising Your Experience
Do you excel in your job but have no qualification to back it up? Headstart can help you get qualified! Headstart is Wintec's Recognition of Prior (RPL) Learning Tool.
While many people have gained work and life experience equivalent to that of formal study, they don't have that formal qualification to substantiate it. Headstart allows you to use your current knowledge and experience towards gaining a recognised qualification through Informal Transfer of Credit.
The process for Headstart
If you are interested in applying, you can do so by emailing your profile through to: headstart@wintec.ac.nz.
- Education History
- Experience Information
- Work experience Info
- Other evidence
Your profile will be forwarded to the relevant Team Manager to look at and determine if you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning. Once this has been determined, a consultation meeting will be arranged between yourself and the Team Manager. There is a $75 fee for this consultation. At the consultation, the Team Manager will discuss which modules they believe you have the experience to gain Informal Transfer of Credit for and also what documentation you will need to supply.
