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) that offer the Certificate II in Leather Production. While not currently available for immediate enrolment, registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when the pathway opens.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering your interest allows us to gauge demand for this specific qualification and prioritises your application once we have secured a suitable RTO partner. It ensures your experience is counted as soon as the assessment process is finalised.
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, as it assesses the same competencies.
What kind of leather production experience is relevant?
Experience in hide processing, machine operation, table work, or the fabrication of leather goods like saddles and footwear is highly relevant. Even supervised work in a production environment can serve as strong evidence of your competence.
Will I need to attend a campus for assessment?
The RPL process is designed to be completed primarily through the submission of evidence from your workplace. However, the RTO's assessor may request a practical demonstration or a workplace observation to verify specific technical skills like machine sewing or leather splitting.
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.
