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 exploratory phase, auditing Registered Training Organisations to ensure they have the specific expertise required to assess this swimming pool and spa building qualification.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering your interest ensures you are the first to be notified as soon as a pathway is established. It also allows us to provide you with early guidance on the types of evidence an assessor will look for.
Is RPL the same as completing a training course?
No. While a course teaches you new skills, RPL is a formal assessment process that recognises the skills and knowledge you have already acquired through years of practical experience in the industry.
What happens if the assessor identifies gaps in my evidence?
If the RTO's assessor determines that your evidence doesn't fully cover certain units, they will provide a pathway for gap training. This allows you to complete targeted learning to meet the national standard.
How much experience do I need for this qualification?
Assessors typically look for several years of experience in pool and spa construction, specifically in roles where you have managed sites, interpreted plans, and overseen material procurement.
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.
