Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process designed to recognise the skills you have obtained from previous formal and informal study, life experiences, and workplace experience.

This means that you can receive credit for skills you already hold against a unit of competency, or a whole qualification.

Who can apply for RPL?

Anyone who wishes to have their skills recognised.

What evidence do I need to provide?

You need to provide a range of evidence to support your application. This might include resume, duty statements, references or testimonials, work samples, self assessment.  The evidence you provide will depend on the qualification you are being assessed against, and will be explained in full on application.

How am I assessed?

Your assessor will make a decision regarding your competence on the basis of your application and the supporting evidence you provide. You may also undertake an interview or observational assessment.
