Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where skills and knowledge that you have gained through work and life experience and other unrecognised training can be formally recognised.

Suitability is often determined on how much experience the student has in a certain area, including work history and previous training. If RPL is determined as a possibility, students will be provided with an RPL kit that will guide them in working through each unit to determine relevant skills and experience and identify whether they would be able to provide the required evidence. A trainer/assessor will be available to assist the student throughout this process.

For further information, refer to the RPL Policy and Procedure.

* International students should note that where they are granted RPL, this will reduce their course duration and they will be informed of this in writing.
