Chat on WhatsAppWhat is RPL?
RPL stands for Recognition of Prior Learning. It is a way to have the skills you already use at work assessed against a nationally recognised Australian qualification. Instead of sitting in a classroom, you show evidence of what you can do.
Who can apply for RPL?
RPL suits people who have been doing a job for a while and can show it. Most people have a few years of hands-on experience in their trade or role. Every case is different, so start with a free skills check and we will tell you what looks possible.
What evidence do I need?
Common evidence includes a resume, reference letters from employers, payslips, photos or videos of your work, licences or tickets, and any previous certificates. You do not need everything. We help you work out what you have and what is missing.
How long does RPL take?
It depends on the qualification and how quickly you can gather your evidence. Many people finish much faster than a full course. We will give you a clearer idea once we understand your experience.
How much does RPL cost?
The cost depends on the qualification and your situation. Please contact us for a quote. The skills check is free and there is no obligation.
Can I use experience I gained overseas?
Often, yes. Overseas work experience can be used as evidence if you can show it clearly, for example with references and proof of employment. Tell us where you worked in the skills check and we will guide you.
Is the qualification nationally recognised?
Yes. The qualifications on this site are from the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). If you are successful, the qualification is issued by a Registered Training Organisation and is recognised across Australia.
What happens after I apply?
A member of our team will contact you, usually by your preferred method, to talk about your experience. If RPL looks like a good fit, we explain the next steps, help you build your evidence, and support you through the assessment.
