  • ARMS Opportunities - Non-Assessed  - These opportunities are non-compulsory and may be used to accrue non-assessed points.

  • The points listed in this table are a guide only and ARMS will be the final arbitrator for determining the number of points from any non-ARMS program.
  • A maximum of 16 points as recognition of prior learning (non-assessed programs) may be approved as nine (9) non-assessed points will be accrued as part of the compulsory elements of the program.
  • The maximum number of points that will be granted for any non-ARMS program is 10 points, regardless of the duration of the program.
  • Recognition of prior learning will only be considered for programs completed within 12 months of the ELAP application.
