About CHC30221 – Certificate III In School Based Education Support

This qualification reflects the role of workers who assist teachers and support student learning in a range of classroom settings. They complete general administrative as well as operational tasks to support students with learning under the guidance of a teacher or other educational professional.


Flexible Delivery

Traxion Training currently delivers this qualification as assessment only via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Students will be expected to complete a self assessment kit as a first step in completing the RPL kit. If gap training is required to attain this qualification, students will need to complete the gap training with another provider. This means that, in the event that gap training is identified, Traxion Training will only be able to offer students a Statement of Attainment.

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.

Enrolment Conditions

Enrolments are processed upon receipt of a completed enrolment form. All policy information regarding conditions of enrolment, refunds and our guarantee to complete all assessment requirements once the enrolment has commenced, is contained in our Terms and Conditions.

For further information please refer to the Student Handbook.

The specific course entry requirements are:

  • Traxion Training will outline the RPL process clearly at course commencement and gather evidence from the student to demonstrate their capacity to manage the assessment requirements. If the student is not able to meet these requirements, then alternatives will be sought.
  • Technology skills – basic level computer skills and access to a computer will be required. 
  • Approximately 1 year of experience in the school-based education industry. If the student has less experience but believes that they have sufficient experience to be assessed through recognised prior learning, Traxion Training will assess these situations on a case by case basis.
  • Completed a total of least 100 hours of work in a classroom environment catering to primary or secondary school students, within at least one school in Australia as detailed in the Assessment Requirements of units of competency. The total number of hours may be applied collectively across all units of competency that include the requirement for workplace hours.

Assessment Conditions Checklist (ACC) will be available soon.

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.
