Recognition of Prior Learning
What is RPL?
RPL is an abbreviation for Recognition of Prior Learning, which is an assessment process that uses your existing skills, knowledge, and experience to obtain a formal qualification or units of competency in lieu of study.
RPL is an assessment method that makes formal qualifications more accessible to people who are already working and advancing their careers.
Who is eligible for RPL?
Before you can begin with Recognition of Prior Learning, there are a few boxes to check. Your eligibility will be determined by your industry, the type of qualification you seek, and any relevant formal or informal prior learning.
What is RPL and how does it work?
RPL, or Recognition of Prior Learning, considers the skills and knowledge you’ve already acquired in your field of work or through study, school, and life experiences. An RPL assessment, whether formal or informal, uses your existing skills to fulfil the credits required for a formal qualification.
How much does RPL cost?
The cost of a nationally recognised qualification obtained through Recognition of Prior Learning is determined by the type of qualification sought and the method of payment chosen. The total cost is determined by the course level, which ranges from a Certificate II to a Graduate Diploma.
How much experience do you need for RPL?
You must show that you have prior learning relevant to the qualification you are seeking. Your abilities, knowledge, and experience must be related to the Units of Competency in your course. Prior learning can be obtained in three ways: formal, non-formal, and informal.
How can I get an RPL certificate?
A person seeking RPL must go through a number of steps. The process begins with completing a free skills assessment to discuss your goals and determine the necessary qualifications. You will then be required to create a portfolio with all supporting evidence, which will be evaluated by one of our partner RTOs.
