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 partnering with the right Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that specialise in the Defence Training Package. Once these partnerships are finalised, we will begin offering skills reviews for this qualification.
Why should I register my interest now?
Registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when a pathway opens. It also helps us demonstrate the demand for this qualification to our RTO partners, which can accelerate the setup process.
Is RPL the same as completing the course?
The outcome is identical. Whether you complete the training or achieve recognition through RPL, the RTO issues the same nationally recognised qualification. The difference is that RPL focuses on assessing the evidence of the expertise you already possess.
What if my evidence is classified or sensitive?
We respect the security requirements of Defence work. Your consultant will guide you on how to provide redacted evidence or alternative documentation, such as letters of attestation from supervisors, that can verify your competency without compromising security.
How do I demonstrate 'Treating Risk' for this qualification?
Evidence can include risk registers, safety briefs, or operational plans where you have identified potential hazards during the testing phase and implemented specific mitigation strategies to ensure trial safety.
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.
