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 via RPL?+
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) who can deliver assessment for this qualification. At this stage, we are accepting expressions of interest.
Why should I register my interest?+
Registering your interest ensures you are the first to be notified once we have a partner RTO ready to assess your experience. It also helps us demonstrate the demand for this qualification to our partners.
Is RPL the same as studying for the qualification?+
No. Recognition of Prior Learning is an assessment process that acknowledges the skills you have already developed through your work. It focuses on evidence of your existing competence rather than teaching you new skills.
What kind of design experience is required?+
The assessor will look for evidence of your ability to respond to design briefs, understand material capabilities, and produce technical drawings that guide the manufacturing process.
Will I need to demonstrate computer-aided design (CAD) skills?+
Yes, as the qualification includes units on producing drawings from design concepts, providing evidence of your manual or CAD drafting expertise will be a key part of the assessment process.
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.
