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 through RPL it?+
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that hold this specific qualification on their scope. By registering your interest, you will be the first to know when we can begin guiding you through the assessment process.
Why should I register my interest?+
Registering ensures you are placed on our priority list. As soon as a partner RTO is secured, a consultant will reach out to conduct a free skills review and determine if your experience aligns with the AVI50115 requirements.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?+
Yes. A qualification achieved through Recognition of Prior Learning is identical to one earned through classroom study. It is nationally recognised and meets the same Australian Qualifications Framework standards, as it is based on the same competency assessments.
Does this Diploma grant me an ATC licence automatically?+
No. While the Diploma provides the formal educational component, Air Traffic Control is a highly regulated field. You must still meet the medical, security, and practical assessment requirements set by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to hold a Part 65 licence.
Can my Defence Force ATC experience be used for RPL?+
Absolutely. Experience gained within Defence Aviation is highly relevant. We can guide you in translating your military service, orders, and publications into evidence that meets civilian RTO assessment standards.
What happens if I have experience in only one ATC stream?+
The qualification requires specific elective units for Aerodrome, Approach, or Area control. During your skills review, we will help you identify which stream your evidence best supports and advise if any gap training is required for other units.
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.
