What Is Recognition of Prior Learning?

Recognition of Prior Learning is a formal assessment process that evaluates skills, knowledge, and experience you have gained through your career against the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification.

You gather relevant workplace evidence and a qualified assessor from the delivering Registered Training Organisation evaluates that evidence. If the assessor determines every competency requirement is met, the RTO issues the qualification.

Registering helps us gauge demand for this specific qualification, which allows us to prioritise and accelerate our work with partner RTOs to bring this pathway to life.
Is RPL the same as completing a traditional course?+
The resulting qualification is identical. The difference lies in the pathway: RPL assesses the expertise you have already gained through years of senior experience rather than requiring you to study what you already know.

Candidates must demonstrate the ability to coordinate resources and plan for disasters, typically acquired through five years of industry experience or completion of core units from the Diploma of Public Safety.
What kind of evidence will I eventually need to provide?+
You will likely be asked to provide strategic plans, exercise designs, risk assessments, and evidence of your role in coordinating interagency responses and recovery functions.
Is this qualification suitable for front-line responders?+
This Advanced Diploma is specifically designed for personnel operating at a senior organisational level, focusing on strategic management, community programs, and interagency negotiations.
What does registering my interest mean?+
Registering your interest means you'd like to be notified when this qualification becomes available through RPL. There's no commitment. We'll contact you when an RTO partnership is confirmed for this qualification.
Why isn't this qualification available yet?+
RPL It works with partner RTOs to deliver qualifications. We're currently exploring RTO partnerships for this qualification. Registering your interest helps us prioritise which qualifications to focus on next.
What happens after I register my interest?+
You'll receive a confirmation, and we'll keep your details on file. When a partner RTO is confirmed for this qualification, we'll contact you with the next steps, including how to start your free skills review.
Can I still do a free skills review for this qualification?+
Yes. A free skills review helps you understand whether your experience aligns with the qualification requirements, regardless of whether an RTO partner is currently available. It's a useful first step while you wait.
