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 through RPL it?+
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) for the Certificate II in Agriculture. By registering your interest, you will be the first to know when we can begin guiding candidates through this specific recognition pathway.
Why should I register my interest?+
Registering your interest ensures you are prioritised for a free skills review as soon as the qualification is active. It also helps us gauge industry demand, which can accelerate the partnership process with our delivering RTOs.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?+
Yes. A qualification earned through Recognition of Prior Learning is identical to one earned through traditional study. It is issued by a Registered Training Organisation and meets the same national standards, as it assesses the same competencies.
I work in a mixed farming environment; does this qualification cover that?+
Absolutely. The Certificate II in Agriculture is designed for general job roles that can include livestock production, cropping, or a combination of both. We will guide you in gathering evidence that reflects the specific nature of your workplace.
What if I have experience but no formal paperwork?+
While formal documents are helpful, evidence can take many forms, including photos of your work, videos of you operating machinery, and statutory declarations from your employers. We help you identify the best way to demonstrate your skills.
Do I need a licence for farm machinery to get this qualification?+
While there are no formal licensing requirements for the qualification itself, providing evidence of machinery operation; such as tractors or quad bikes; is a key part of demonstrating your competency for several elective units.
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.
