What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) ?
RPL is an assessment process that lets people with substantial existing skills and knowledge demonstrate their competence without first having to be trained.
The core requirement is providing tangible, verifiable evidence -"showing" rather than "telling"- to prove you can perform tasks to industry standards.
You must be able to provide us with work samples to demonstrate competency. The evidence provided must meet the rules of evidence.
Candidates who are unable to provide suitable evidence, should not apply for RPL.
Assessors look for direct and indirect evidence that links your daily tasks to the units of competency in the qualification.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process designed to evaluate existing skills, knowledge, and experience, and it is not a guaranteed, automatic, or "shortcut" process.
