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 detailing access consulting experience
- ✓Position descriptions from property management or advisory roles
- ✓Employment references verifying your technical expertise
Compliance & Auditing
- ✓Copies of accessibility audit reports
- ✓NCC compliance assessments for small-scale buildings
- ✓Records of anti-discrimination legislation application
Communication & Reporting
- ✓Sample access reports provided to clients
- ✓Stakeholder briefing notes or advisory correspondence
- ✓Evidence of applying medical terminology in accessibility contexts
Operational Risk

- ✓Records of promoting client compliance with access standards
This is general guidance based on training.gov.au. Specific requirements will be confirmed by the delivering RTO's assessor when RPL becomes available.
