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. While we cannot facilitate the process today, registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when a pathway becomes available.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering allows us to gauge demand and accelerate the partnership process with relevant RTOs. It also ensures you receive direct notification as soon as we can guide you through the recognition of your rural experience.
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 classroom study. It is assessed against the same national standards, meaning your experience is recognised as evidence of your competency.
I work in regional tourism; can I still apply for this?
Yes. This qualification is highly versatile and designed for various regional sectors including tourism, transport, and local government. If your work involves routine tasks in a rural or regional setting, your experience may be well-aligned.
What level of responsibility is expected for this qualification?
This Certificate II level reflects the ability to carry out routine tasks under general supervision. It acknowledges workers who can follow established procedures and take accountability for their own work within a rural environment.
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.
