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 this qualification currently available for RPL?+
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) who can deliver this specific qualification. By registering your interest, you will be the first to know when the pathway is open for assessment.
Why should I register my interest now?+
Registering helps us gauge the demand for this specialised Aeroskills qualification and allows us to provide you with updates on RTO availability and the specific evidence requirements as they are finalised.
Is RPL the same as completing a training course?+
No. Recognition of Prior Learning is an assessment process that recognises the skills you have already developed through your career. It respects your existing expertise by assessing it against national standards rather than requiring you to repeat training.
Can I use my ADF experience for this qualification?+
Yes. This qualification is specifically designed to align with the skills developed by ADF members working in life support and furnishing roles under DASA airworthiness systems.
What happens if the assessor identifies gaps in my evidence?+
If the RTO's assessor identifies areas where your evidence does not fully meet the competency standards, they will provide a pathway for gap training to help you demonstrate the remaining requirements.
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.
