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.

Is this qualification currently available for RPL?
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations to offer this specific qualification. While not yet active, registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when the pathway opens.
Why should I register my interest now?
Registering allows us to gauge industry demand and prioritise this qualification in our partnership pipeline. It also ensures you receive direct updates regarding evidence requirements and assessment availability.
Are there specific entry requirements for this Advanced Diploma?
Yes, entry typically requires the completion of a Diploma of Visual Merchandising or at least one year of full-time industry experience in a related field. We will guide you through how your experience meets these prerequisites.
Is the RPL process the same as completing a course?
RPL focuses on the recognition of existing skills rather than new learning. While a traditional course teaches you the material, RPL involves a qualified assessor reviewing your evidence to determine if you already meet the national standard.
What happens if my evidence doesn't cover every unit?
If the RTO's assessor identifies specific areas where your evidence is insufficient, they will provide targeted gap training. This allows you to address those specific requirements without needing to repeat the entire qualification.
How do I know if my visual merchandising experience is at the right level?
This Advanced Diploma is designed for those managing brand strategies, photographic styling solutions, and complex projects. Our free skills review will help determine if your experience aligns with these senior-level competencies.
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.
