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 RPL currently available for the Certificate III in Printing?
We are currently in the developmental phase for this qualification, which involves establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that specialise in printing and graphic arts. This ensures your experience is assessed by those who understand the industry.
Why should I register my interest now?
Registering interest allows us to gauge demand and accelerate our partnership process. You will be among the first to be notified when a formal recognition pathway becomes available, ensuring your years of experience are prioritised.
Is RPL the same as studying a printing course?
No. Recognition of Prior Learning is an assessment of the skills you have already acquired through years of on-the-job experience. It respects your prior investment in the trade rather than requiring you to repeat training for things you already know how to do.
What kind of experience is relevant for this qualification?
Relevant experience includes setting up and operating lithographic, flexographic, or digital printers, monitoring equipment, and managing quality control in a production environment. Both traditional and modern printing techniques are highly valued.
Will I need to provide samples of my work?
Yes. As part of the evidence portfolio, an assessor may look for samples of printed products you have produced, such as packaging, books, or stationery, to verify your technical competency against national standards.
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.
