Recognition of Acquired Competencies (RAC)


The Ministry of Education believes that on-the-job training should count towards the granting of a diploma or attestation.  Through our Recognition of Acquired Competencies Program you can gain advanced standing in a diploma or attestation program because of the experience you bring to your studies.

During a RAC interview you will meet with a content specialist who will guide you through the process; review the career competencies you  have developed, the objectives and competencies which are to be developed within a career program, and create an individualized study and assessment plan that will lead you to successful completion of, and graduation from, a recognized vocational course of study.

RAC is available in, but not limited to, the following vocational programs:

  • Accounting
  • Secretarial Studies
  • Computing Support
  • Construction Business Management
  • Hotel Reception
  • Assistance in Healthcare Facilities
  • Carpentry
