Natural Resource Project Management via Recognition of Prior Learning
AHC51110
Diploma of Convservation and Land Management (RPL)
Today the sustainable management of our natural resources and landscapes is complex
and those who have that responsibility need to possess modern skills based on theoretical
and applied knowledge.
Now more than ever not only do you require the skills to deliver complex projects, and
manage corporate responsibilities but you also need to develop community knowledge of
and promote community participation in the planning and decision making for natural
resource management projects.
This Diploma qualification is suited to individuals who work in or aspire to work in
community based organisations, individual enterprises and government agencies
responsible for the delivery of complex natural resource management projects and for
ensuring community involvement in planning and decision making, as well as landholders
and farmers looking at their own land management and operational developments.

This is an RPL qualification only. This is a sample of 10 units which could make up the
qualification. Other units may be selected on negotiation with the Instructor depending on
students ability to provide RPL evidence but packaging rules of qualification must be met.
This schedule represents the tuition fees for students who are enrolling in these units of
study and represent the tuition fees payable for these units of study. Fees and/or EFTSL
may vary if students select different electives. EFTSL means the equivalent full time study
load and is a measure of the study load based on a student undertaking a course on a fulltime basis over an academic year. The census date is the date after which a student
incurs a debt for the VET unit of study in which they are enrolled. If a student remains
enrolled in a unit of study after 5pm on the census date, then they will incur fees for that
unit.
VET FEE-HELP is available for this course for eligible students. More information can be
found on the VET FEE-HELP tab. Students can also make up-front payment for their
tuition fees using a variety of payment methods including direct debit, electronic funds
transfer and centrepay.
* To be eligible for the HLSP funding or concessional rates, students will need to be
eligible for funding under the Higher Level Skills Program. Further information is available
on the Queensland Government website. If 'n/a' is written then the Higher Level Skills
Program is not available for this course.
