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 auditing Registered Training Organisations to ensure they have the expertise to assess this specific qualification. We prioritise quality partnerships over speed.
Why should I register my interest now?+
Registering interest ensures you are notified the moment a compliant assessment pathway is established, allowing you to begin your evidence portfolio immediately.
Is RPL the same as completing a course?+
No. While the resulting qualification is identical, RPL is an assessment of existing competence. It recognises the skills you have already mastered through years of work.
My workplace uses 'Lean' or 'Six Sigma' terminology; does this still apply?+
Yes. 'Competitive Systems and Practices' is a broad term used by the national training system to encompass Lean, Six Sigma, Agile, and other business improvement methodologies.
Can I use evidence from a non-manufacturing industry?+
Absolutely. While these practices originated in manufacturing, they are now applied across healthcare, logistics, administration, and agribusiness. Your evidence simply needs to demonstrate the application of the tools.
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.
