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 this qualification be available?
We are currently identifying RTO partners who maintain the specialised facilities and qualified assessors required to evaluate competence in this niche field.
Why should I register my interest now?
Registering allows us to gauge industry demand and ensures you are the first to be contacted once a formal RPL pathway is established with a partner RTO.
Is RPL the same as completing a course?
RPL is a rigorous assessment of the skills you have already developed on the job, whereas a course is designed to teach you new skills; both lead to the same nationally recognised qualification.
What kind of evidence will I eventually need to provide?
Assessors will look for evidence of your ability to work safely in crocodile habitats, manage biosecurity risks, and perform specific tasks like feeding, harvesting, or hatchery support.
Does my experience in the wild count toward this qualification?
Yes, experience conducting activities in crocodile habitats in the wild, such as egg harvesting in Northern Australian waterways, is highly relevant evidence of competency.
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.
