Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learing is the acknowledgement of skills and knowledge that have been gained through training, work, or life experiences into formal competencies. The assessment of RPL is carried out by collating evidence against formal competencies as described in the relevant training package.

Students who believe they already have the skills and knowledge required by some or all of the units in a qualification may seek to have their existing competency recognised through a formal RPL process. The RPL process involves the learner gathering evidence from life, work and both formal and/or informal study experiences and matching it against the specific learning outcomes of individual units of competency. The RTO will appoint an appropriately qualified person to assist the student with this process.

Where the qualified Assessor determines that the evidence is sufficient to demonstrate current competency against the unit requirements the student will be awarded the unit. In many cases this will mean the learner can complete all or part of a qualification without needing to attend training – although training may be required where there are gaps in the students’ knowledge and/or skills.
