Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) acknowledges previous experience, extensive skills and previously completed qualifications against the training package requirements of the qualification being undertaken. All RPL enabled course assessment are determined by our Industry Expert Trainers and Assessors. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) means an assessment process that assesses the competency/s of an individual that may have been acquired through formal, non-formal and informal learning to determine where the candidate meets the requirements specified in the training package or VET accredited courses. 1. Formal learning refers to learning that takes place through a structured program of instruction and is linked to the attainment of an AQF qualification or statement of attainment e.g. A certificate, diploma of university degree; 2. Non-formal learning refers to learning that takes place through a structured program of instruction, but does not lead to the attainment of an AQF qualification or Statement of Attainment e.g. in-house professional development programs conducted by a business; 3. Informal learning refers to learning that results through experience of work related, social, family, hobby or leisure activities e.g. interpersonal skills such as communication and leadership developed through several years as a Team Leader.

Any candidate can apply for RPL, which assesses your current and previous experience against the requirements of a training qualification. Not all candidates will be suitable to complete an entire qualification via the RPL pathway; in this instance, gap training or blended-learning may be an alternative option to complete the chosen qualification. This will be discussed at the enrolment stage (or an initial conversation) to determine candidates goals, current qualifications and suitable ‘fit’ for RPL.

Depending on the qualification you have chosen, you will be required to provide a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) against the training package requirements. This PoE meets both the training package requirements and the Principals of Assessment and Rules of Evidence guidelines.

They will review all your evidence supplied for validity, sufficiency, authenticity and currency. This evidence will include your work experience, competence in industry and previous qualifications against your chosen qualification sought to complete.
