Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

What is RPL?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), is a process recognising an individual’s existing skills and knowledge towards the achievement of a nationally recognised qualification or statement of attainment.

Skills may have been gained through:

  • Work experience
  • Formal training and education (you may be eligible for a credit transfer)
  • Informal training and education
  • General life experience
  • Voluntary work

How does this apply to me?

Each qualification is made up of units of study. To gain RPL, you will need to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge to meet the criteria required in each of the unit of competency.

RPL is an assessment only pathway which includes:

  • Your existing skills and knowledge which can be counted toward your qualification or unit/s of competency
  • You must provide the relevant evidence to support your existing skills and knowledge
  • You only need to undertake the units where you are not able to demonstrate your skills and knowledge
  • Your course costs may be reduced
  • You can use your time more effectively
  • You may finish your course sooner
