By recognising your prior learning and management experience, you may be provided with credit for up to 50% of your postgraduate course.

The AIM Business School MBA program is tailored for the experienced professional providing flexible study options, a practical learning context you can apply immediately within your organisation and a personalised study journey by recognising your prior learning.

Preparing for RPL submission

  • Previous formal or informal training/education (at an education institution, a training facility, or a place of work)
  • Work experience (paid and unpaid)
  • Voluntary work

Don’t forget – if you’ve previously completed or partially completed a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma with another provider in the last 5 years, you may be eligible for a Credit Transfer at no additional cost. This also takes into consideration those who have partially completed an MBA at another institution within the past 5 years.
