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 this specific qualification. At this stage, we are accepting registrations of interest so we can notify you as soon as the RPL pathway is active.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering your interest ensures you are among the first to be notified when we secure an RTO partner for this qualification. This allows you to begin your skills review and evidence collection process ahead of others.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?
Yes. A qualification achieved 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 under the Australian Qualifications Framework.
Will I need to demonstrate horse handling to an assessor?
As this is a safety-critical qualification, an assessor from the delivering RTO may require a practical demonstration or video evidence of you handling horses to ensure competency meets national safety standards.
Do I need to be a competent rider to achieve this qualification?
Not necessarily. While there are elective units for horse riding and exercising, the core of the qualification focuses on horse care, handling, and safety on the ground.
What happens if I have experience but no formal documentation?
Our consultants are experts in helping you identify 'experience as evidence'. We can guide you on how to create logs, request references, or capture video evidence that demonstrates your competency to an assessor.
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.
