Every nationally recognised qualification sits at a level on the Australian Qualifications Framework. Choose a level to see the relevant qualifications.
Why there are no AQF 7, 9 or 10 qualifications here
Levels 7, 9 and 10 are higher education qualifications: the bachelor degree, masters degree and doctoral degree, awarded by universities and other higher education providers. In higher education, recognition of prior learning is called advanced standing, and it is commonly capped at around 50% of a degree, as determined by the institution. It can never give you the whole qualification, so there is no RPL qualification at levels 7, 9 or 10.
However, a vocational qualification can often earn you credit towards part of a university degree, because the vocational and higher education systems are designed to work together. See how university credit pathways work.

Frequently asked questions
Recognition of Prior Learning, your experience, and your next step.
Got more questions?How long does the RPL process take?
Most candidates who submit a complete evidence portfolio receive their qualification within 4 to 6 weeks from RTO assessment. The total timeline depends on evidence readiness. Strong documentation can help the process move quickly, while evidence gaps or gap training may take longer.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from TAFE?
Yes. An RPL qualification is issued under the Australian Qualifications Framework, the same framework that governs qualifications from TAFE colleges and all other Registered Training Organisations. It carries the same national recognition. Licensing requirements vary, so check with the relevant authority.
How much does RPL cost?
RPL costs vary by qualification level, complexity, and number of units. Because RPL assesses what you already know rather than teaching new content, it is typically less expensive than full enrolment. Contact our team for a tailored quote. Payment plans are interest-free with no establishment fee, and the instalment schedule and any extension fee that could apply are set out in your quote.
What evidence do I need for RPL?
Evidence can include your resume, reference letters from employers, photos or videos of your work, previous qualifications and certificates, job descriptions, and any other documentation that demonstrates your skills and knowledge. The RTO tells you exactly what evidence it needs for your specific qualification, and your RPL it consultant helps you put it together.
