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 the Certificate III in Forest Operations be available?
We are currently in the process of identifying and vetting RTO partners who meet our standards for this specific forestry qualification. While it is not available for immediate enrolment, registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when the pathway opens.
Why should I register my interest now?
Registering your interest allows us to gauge industry demand, which helps us fast-track partnerships with the right training organisations. It also allows us to provide you with preliminary guidance on evidence collection while we finalise the assessment pathway.
Is RPL the same as completing a forestry course?
RPL is a different pathway to the same nationally recognised qualification. While traditional study teaches you new skills, RPL recognises the skills you have already mastered through years of work in the forest and wood products industry.
What kind of forestry experience is most relevant?
Experience across Forest Nursery Production, Silviculture, or Timber Harvesting and Haulage is highly relevant. The assessment will look for your ability to work under limited supervision while adhering to strict environmental and safety standards.
Will my chainsaw or plant tickets count as evidence?
Yes, existing tickets and certifications for specific machinery or manual felling are excellent forms of evidence. They demonstrate that your technical skills have already been validated in a practical, operational context.
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.
