About CHC51015 Diploma of Counselling
This qualification reflects the role of counsellors, who work with clients on personal and psychological issues using established counselling modalities. They use communication, micro-counselling and interviewing skills and draw on varied counselling therapies to assist clients. At this level, the counsellor will be working in defined and supported counselling roles in established agencies rather than in independent practice.
Flexible Online Delivery
Traxion Training specialises in delivering qualifications through online Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), designed for experienced professionals who are currently employed in their respective industries. As part of the RPL process, students begin by completing a self-reflection questionnaire. This initial step helps them identify their existing skills and knowledge, determining whether they are eligible for RPL or if additional training is needed to meet the qualification requirements. Successful RPL outcomes can significantly shorten training and learning duration, ensuring a more efficient path to achieving qualifications. This tailored and flexible online approach optimises time and focuses on areas that may require further development.
RPL & Credit Transfer
Recognition of prior learning is all about the skills and knowledge you’ve collected through work and life experiences and then transferring them to current training course requirements. Credit transfer also recognises previous formal learning (e.g. other VET qualifications). It uses the copy of the qualification, record of results (which includes details of the issuing RTO and the date issued), statement of attainment previously issued to the student for each unit of competency, or authenticated VET transcripts downloaded from the USI (Unique Student Identifier) platform. All courses can be completed using an assessment only pathway through RPL in Traxion if the candidate possesses sufficient skills and experience as determined by the assessor.
Duration and Process
Duration of the Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) process may be approximately 8 weeks to 6 months. It is largely dependent on the student’s ability to respond to the assessment kit provided. The RPL Kit normally consists of the following sections (please note this is subject to change, please contact us for detailed information)
- Self-Assessment Questionnaire
- List of Evidence Documents & Workplace Portfolio
- One on One Competency Questioning Interview with a qualified assessor
- Observation recording sheets
- Third Party (current workplace supervisor/representative) Verification

ACA does not have a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway to membership. All Members must have completed a qualification as outlined in the ACA Scope of Practice. Applicants who have received RPL as part of their qualification must be assessed individually.
In instances where an applicant has used RPL to gain credit towards their qualification, ACA will accept a maximum of 40% RPL otherwise the qualification will not be recognised for ACA practising registration.
An individual who is seeking to receive RPL from prior qualifications should contact the training provider they wish to study through. ACA does not process RPL requests.
The ACA may update its requirements at any time, and Traxion Training is not responsible for notifying students of these changes. It is the student’s responsibility to regularly check directly with the ACA to ensure they are aware of and meeting the current requirements. Please click this link for further information.
