Could RPL Be Right for You?

Experience can be evidence.

RPL is the process that helps you demonstrate it.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you've gained through your career to determine whether you meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification. It isn't a shortcut — it applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway.

RPL typically involves:

📋

A review of your work experience against the qualification requirements

💼

Compilation of an evidence portfolio demonstrating your competency

👤

Assessment by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation

🎯

If gaps are identified, targeted training to build on your existing expertise

ℹ️ Important Pathway Advice

RPL isn't the right pathway for everyone. If you don't have substantial, relevant, and current industry experience, a traditional study pathway may serve you better.

Our approach:

“We'd rather guide you to the right pathway than enrol you in the wrong one.”

🚜

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this qualification and RPL.

Is this qualification currently available through RPL It?▾

We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that specialise in agronomy. While not currently open for immediate enrolment, we are building the pathway to ensure your experience is assessed with the respect it deserves.

Why should I register my interest?▾

Registering ensures you are notified as soon as an RTO partner is ready to accept applications. It also allows us to begin a preliminary review of your experience, so you are well-positioned when the formal process begins.

Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?▾

Yes. A qualification issued through Recognition of Prior Learning is identical to one earned through traditional study. It is assessed against the same national standards and carries the same weight with employers and industry bodies.

What if my experience is limited to specific crop types?▾

Agronomy is a broad field, and the qualification recognises specialisation. Whether your expertise is in broadacre cropping, viticulture, or horticulture, the RPL process focuses on how you apply agronomic principles to your specific environment.

Will I need to provide data from my farm or workplace?▾

The assessment process requires evidence of your competency. This often includes technical plans, reports, and soil analysis you have conducted. We will guide you on how to provide this evidence while respecting any commercial confidentiality requirements.
