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:
Work History & Roles
- ✓Detailed flight logs and mission records
- ✓Employment contracts or position descriptions
- ✓Records of commercial drone operations
Operational Planning
- ✓Flight plans and airspace risk assessments
- ✓Job Safety Environmental Analysis (JSEA) reports
- ✓Pre-flight and post-flight inspection checklists
Regulatory & Safety
- ✓CASA Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) documentation
- ✓Records of radio communication and aeronautical radio logs
- ✓Incident reports and safety management records
Technical Management
- ✓Maintenance and repair logs for RPAS airframes
- ✓Energy source management and battery logs
- ✓Payload configuration and calibration records
Specialist Evidence
- ✓Aerial mapping data or 3D modelling outputs
- ✓Infrastructure inspection reports and imagery
- ✓Search and rescue or aerial delivery mission records
This is general guidance based on training.gov.au. Specific requirements will be confirmed by the delivering RTO's assessor when RPL becomes available.
