What is RPL?

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is a process that assesses your competency—acquired through formal and informal learning—to determine if you meet the requirements for a unit of study, which is mapped towards the completion of a full or part qualification. Very simply put, a means to be recognised for your existing knowledge, skills and experiences gained through your employment experience. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment only process, no training is provided. Therefore, you will be required to provide a portfolio of evidence to support the assessment requirements for a unit.

Is everyone eligible to apply for RPL?

To meet eligibility for RPL, you should have a minimum of two years of work experience in the unit that you are requesting profession you are seeking Recognition of prior learning (RPL).

Is RPL a fast way to obtain a qualification?

RPL is not necessarily a quick process unless you have significant skills and knowledge and have evidence to support the knowledge and skills. If you do not have evidence to support your skills and knowledge, you may find it will take you longer to complete the unit through RPL as you will need to collect various supporting documents to demonstrate your competency.

Is RPL easy?

The procedure to complete is RPL is easy, providing that you have access to supporting evidence which make a judgement on your competency easy to map.

What happens if I apply for RPL and I don’t have the knowledge and skills required?

As part of the initial assessment of your application, the academic team will assess, what you are eligible to receive RPL for and you will have a learning plan created for any skills gaps that require training and assessment. Not everyone is eligible for RPL, as it heavily relies on your ability to produce supporting evidence of your knowledge and skills.
