All outcomes must reflect the standard of performance inherent in the job. In some jurisdictions, units in this qualification may relate to licensing or regulatory requirements.

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?

Work History & Roles

- ✓Position descriptions from manufacturing or retail jewellery firms
- ✓Records of employment and workshop logs
Technical Craftsmanship
- ✓High-resolution photos or videos of finished jewellery pieces
- ✓Evidence of gem setting and engraving techniques
