Our skilled team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your background, which encompasses your prior credentials, pertinent skills, and industry expertise. Your knowledge and experience will be meticulously correlated with the appropriate segments of the qualification. As a result, you’ll be granted acknowledgment for units or modules in which you’ve demonstrated either competence or comparable learning outcomes.
