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) to provide a streamlined RPL pathway for this specific qualification. Registering your interest ensures you are notified the moment it becomes available.
Why should I register my interest?+
By registering, you allow us to pre-evaluate your experience against the qualification requirements. This ensures you are well-positioned for a successful outcome as soon as our RTO partners begin accepting enrolments.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?+
Yes. A qualification issued through Recognition of Prior Learning is identical to one earned through traditional study, as both require you to demonstrate the same national competency standards to a qualified assessor.
Can I use my experience with specific pump brands as evidence?+
Absolutely. Documenting your ability to install, troubleshoot, and maintain specific irrigation pumps and controllers is excellent evidence of your technical proficiency in this trade.
What if I have experience in both agriculture and commercial landscaping?+
Irrigation technology skills are highly transferable. Evidence from either sector; such as installing pressurised systems or monitoring soil; can be used to demonstrate your competency across the required units.
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.
