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

  • Current resume and detailed job descriptions
  • Employment contracts from health or community services
  • Letters of service outlining your specific duties
🤝

Community Outreach

  • Records of community consultation or health education sessions
  • Stakeholder engagement logs
  • Brochures or flyers developed for health promotion
📊

Surveillance & Compliance

  • Workplace health and safety inspection logs
  • De-identified reports on health screening participation
  • Documentation of disease surveillance or contact tracing activities
📅

Operational Support

  • Project task lists and planning contributions
  • Staff development and training records
  • Evidence of working with diverse community groups

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this qualification and RPL.

Is this qualification currently available for RPL?
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations for this specific qualification. While not immediately available, registering your interest ensures you are notified the moment the pathway opens.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering allows us to understand the demand for this qualification and prioritise it within our RTO network. It also places you at the front of the queue for a free skills review once the assessment process is finalised.
Is recognition of prior learning the same as studying?
Recognition is not about learning new things; it is about proving what you already know. While a student learns through a curriculum, you demonstrate your competency through a portfolio of evidence based on your years of practical experience.
What kind of health experience is most relevant for HLT36015?
Experience in community outreach, disease surveillance, Indigenous health programs, or needle and syringe programs is highly relevant. If you have worked under supervision to support public health initiatives, your experience may be well-aligned.
Will I need to attend a campus for assessment?
The RPL process is designed to be completed remotely. You will work with a consultant to gather and submit your evidence electronically, though the RTO's assessor may request a conversation or a workplace observation if required.
