Could RPL Be Right for You?

Experience can be evidence.

RPL is the process that helps you demonstrate it.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you've gained through your career to determine whether you meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification. It isn't a shortcut — it applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway.

RPL typically involves:

📋

A review of your work experience against the qualification requirements

💼

Compilation of an evidence portfolio demonstrating your competency

👤

Assessment by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation

🎯

If gaps are identified, targeted training to build on your existing expertise

ℹ️ Important Pathway Advice

RPL isn't the right pathway for everyone. If you don't have substantial, relevant, and current industry experience, a traditional study pathway may serve you better.

Our approach:

“We'd rather guide you to the right pathway than enrol you in the wrong one.”

What Kind of Experience Counts?

If RPL becomes available for this qualification, the types of experience and evidence that would typically be relevant include:

🔧

  • Detailed CV or resume showing automotive experience
  • Position descriptions from EV-focused workshops
  • Records of employment and performance reviews

High Voltage Safety

  • Evidence of depowering and reinitialising battery electric vehicles
  • Safety logs for working with high-voltage traction motors
  • Verification of using insulated tools and safety interlock protocols
💻

Diagnostic & Repair

  • Diagnostic test strategies and scan tool reports
  • Repair records for DC to DC converters and traction motors
  • System instrumentation and safety interlock calibration logs
🌡️

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this qualification and RPL.

Is this qualification currently available through RPL It?
We are currently in the process of establishing RTO partnerships for the AUR32721 qualification. While not yet open for active assessment, we are building a registry of experienced technicians to ensure they receive priority access when the pathway is finalised.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering interest allows us to validate the demand for this specific EV qualification with our partner RTOs. It also ensures you receive updates on evidence requirements and are invited to begin your skills review as soon as the program launches.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?
Yes. The qualification issued through RPL is identical to one earned through traditional study. It is nationally recognised and meets the same Australian Standards (AS 5732) for electric vehicle maintenance and repair.
Does this cover both light and heavy electric vehicles?
This qualification requires a mandatory specialisation. During the evidence gathering phase, we will guide you in documenting your experience specifically for either the Light Vehicle or Heavy Vehicle stream, depending on your work history.
How does this qualification affect my ability to get a trade licence?
In most Australian states, a Certificate III is the educational benchmark for a trade licence. Because this is an emerging field, we recommend checking with your local licensing authority regarding specific high-voltage electrical work permits.
What happens if I have experience with hybrids but not full EVs?
While there is significant crossover, this qualification focuses specifically on battery electric vehicles (BEVs). If your experience is primarily with hybrid systems, we can help you identify any specific gap training required to meet the BEV standards.
