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 offer the Certificate III in Parks and Gardens. While not yet open for enrolment, registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when the pathway is active.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering allows us to gauge industry demand and prioritise the onboarding of specific RTO partners. It also ensures you receive early access to a free skills review as soon as the qualification is available.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?
Yes. A qualification achieved through Recognition of Prior Learning is identical to one earned through traditional study. It is issued by a Registered Training Organisation and carries the same national weight and industry recognition.
How do I prove my plant culture and identification skills?
Evidence can include plant identification logs, photos of plant displays you have planned, and records of advice provided to clients or supervisors regarding plant health and suitable species selection.
What if I don't have experience with pressurised irrigation systems?
The RPL process identifies your strengths and any potential gaps. If an assessor determines you lack evidence in a specific area, such as irrigation, targeted gap training can be provided to ensure you meet the full competency requirements.
Do I need to show evidence of chemical use?
Yes, as controlling pests and weeds is a core component. Evidence typically includes spray logs, chemical storage records, and documentation showing you can safely prepare and apply treatments in a garden environment.
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.
