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 in the process of identifying and vetting Registered Training Organisation (RTO) partners who meet our standards for this specific catering management qualification.
Why should I register my interest now?+
Registering your interest ensures you are the first to be notified once a suitable RTO partner is secured, allowing for a timely review of your existing skills and experience.
Is recognition of prior learning the same as a training course?+
No. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment pathway that acknowledges the expertise you have already developed through your work history, rather than requiring you to study what you already know.
Does my experience in aged care catering count toward this qualification?+
Yes, supervisory experience in specialised catering environments like aged care, hospitals, or institutional settings is highly relevant to the competencies required for this qualification.
Will I need to demonstrate my financial management skills?+
Yes. As a supervisory qualification, the assessment process will involve showing how you manage finances within a budget and control stock costs in a catering context.
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.
