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.

When will RPL for this maritime qualification be available?
We are currently in the research and development phase for the Certificate III in Autonomous Maritime Systems, establishing the necessary RTO partnerships to ensure a compliant and rigorous recognition pathway.
Why should I register my interest for the MAR31225 now?
Registering your interest allows us to gauge market demand and prioritize this qualification for our network. You will be the first to know when we have a partner RTO ready to assess your experience.
Is RPL the same as completing the maritime training course?
The outcome is identical. Whether you study or undergo RPL, you receive the same nationally recognised qualification. RPL simply focuses on proving you already possess the skills through evidence rather than re-learning them.
Do I need an existing AMSA certificate for this RPL pathway?
Yes, this qualification has entry requirements including an AMSA Coxswain Grade 1 NC certificate or equivalent command experience on vessels over 12 metres. We will verify this during your initial skills review.
What kind of autonomous experience is required?
The qualification covers both surface and underwater systems. We look for evidence of fundamental knowledge in AMS operations, navigation, and technical maintenance within near-coastal limits.
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.
