Could RPL Be Right for You?
Experience can be evidence.
RPL is the process that helps you demonstrate it.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you've gained through your career to determine whether you meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification. It isn't a shortcut — it applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway.
RPL typically involves:
A review of your work experience against the qualification requirements
Compilation of an evidence portfolio demonstrating your competency
Assessment by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation
If gaps are identified, targeted training to build on your existing expertise
ℹ️ Important Pathway Advice
RPL isn't the right pathway for everyone. If you don't have substantial, relevant, and current industry experience, a traditional study pathway may serve you better.
Our approach:
“We'd rather guide you to the right pathway than enrol you in the wrong one.”
What Kind of Experience Counts?
If RPL becomes available for this qualification, the types of experience and evidence that would typically be relevant include:
Work History & Roles
- ✓Detailed resume highlighting NDT Level 2 or 3 experience
- ✓Position descriptions from aviation maintenance organisations
- ✓Employment contracts or letters of service
NDT Technical Evidence
- ✓Non-destructive test reports for penetrant, ultrasonic, or radiographic testing
- ✓NDT technique development documents or procedure approvals
- ✓Equipment calibration and reference standard logs
Compliance & Safety
- ✓Radiation safety permits and monitoring records
- ✓WHS audit reports and supervisor-level risk assessments
- ✓Aviation technical publication management records
Training & Leadership
- ✓Training session plans and assessment records for junior technicians
