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

✓Comprehensive resume and detailed work history
✓Position descriptions for senior production roles
✓Organisational charts showing leadership responsibilities

🎬

Production Portfolio

✓Professional showreels or completed production links
✓Original screenplays, scripts, or treatment documents
✓Project briefs and technical visual schemes

⚖️

Leadership & Management

✓Production budgets and financial management reports
✓Staff rosters and team management records
✓Safety protocols and risk assessments for creative practice

🤝

Industry Engagement

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this qualification and RPL.

Is RPL currently available for the Advanced Diploma of Screen and Media?▾

We are currently in the process of identifying and partnering with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that specialise in screen and media. This qualification is not yet available for immediate enrolment, but we are working to establish a pathway soon.

Why should I register my interest now?▾

Registering your interest allows us to notify you the moment a partner RTO is secured. It also helps us demonstrate the demand for this qualification to our partners, potentially accelerating the availability of the RPL pathway.

Is RPL for this qualification the same as completing the study?▾

Yes. Recognition of Prior Learning is a formal assessment process that results in the same nationally recognised qualification. The difference is that it assesses the skills you have already mastered through your professional career rather than requiring you to repeat them in a classroom.

What level of experience is expected for an Advanced Diploma?▾

An Advanced Diploma reflects high-level technical or theoretical knowledge and significant autonomy. Candidates typically have several years of experience in senior roles where they have been accountable for team outcomes and creative direction.

What kind of evidence will I eventually need?▾

You will likely need to provide a portfolio of your work, such as showreels, production logs, scripts, and evidence of your leadership in the business of creative practice. Your consultant will guide you on the specific requirements once a partner RTO is established.
