Recognition of Prior Learning

Gain the nationally recognised qualifications you WANT, and NEED

  • What is an RPL?

Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where a student can meet the requirements of units of competency and/or qualifications by using, presenting and/or demonstrating his or her existing knowledge, and skills. A student’s existing knowledge and skills are obtained via work and/or any other real-life experiences to demonstrate his or her competency.

If you can show that you have the required skills or knowledge then you will be granted RPL. Exemption from completing the work required for the subject(s) will be based on the skills and experience you have picked up from:

  • previous learning
  • work or industry experience (paid or unpaid)
  • volunteering
  • partially completed studies

Your experience is matched to current industry qualifications so you can gain credit towards or even recognition for a full qualification.

  • What does this mean for you?

Recognition of Prior learning is one of the quickest ways to obtain a vocational qualification based on the skills that you would have acquired during your career. You’ll be able to step up for that pay rise or promotion and take your career in a new direction with the confidence that your skills and expertise are in line with current industry benchmarks.

Recognition of Prior Learning can also:

  • save you money and study time by avoiding duplication of training
  • ensure you only study what you need to meet the requirements of a job role or qualification
  • fast-track your way to a formal qualification
  • up skill you for a career change
  • improve job security
  • help you move from volunteer work to paid employment
  • provide options for credit towards a university degree
