About This Qualification
This qualification applies to managers, technical specialists or those in similar roles who develop and/or implement strategies to solve problems and improve processes in organisations implementing competitive systems and practices. This qualification complements but does not duplicate qualifications which cover the specific operational or technical skills required in an industry or job role. The qualification is an add-on, or overlay, for a person who has existing skills in their work for example in production, logistics, administration, healthcare, maintenance, financial services, warehousing, agribusinesses or other industries or job roles. Where the person does not hold those skills the appropriate qualifications from other Training Packages should be considered. The qualification is not suitable for direct entry from school. The qualification assumes that the person has current or past experience where operational or technical skills have already been gained and a managerial or technician level of responsibility exists. ‘Competitive Systems and Practices’ is not an approach or system in its own right. It is a broad collective term intended to encompass the flexible application of various tools, techniques, systems and approaches that have synergies around continuous improvement, efficiency, business improvement and similar goals. Examples include Lean, Agile, Kaizen and Six Sigma. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

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.”
What Kind of Experience Counts?
If RPL becomes available for this qualification, the types of experience and evidence that would typically be relevant include:
Work History & Roles
- ✓Current resume and detailed position descriptions
- ✓Performance reviews highlighting process improvement achievements
- ✓Records of professional development in Lean or Six Sigma
Process Improvement
- ✓Value stream maps and operational process diagrams
- ✓Kaizen event documentation and outcomes
- ✓A3 problem-solving reports and root cause analysis
Leadership & Culture
- ✓Staff training materials or workshop outlines you have developed
- ✓Meeting minutes documenting your lead in continuous improvement
- ✓Evidence of mentoring team members in competitive practices
Implementation Evidence
- ✓Standard operating procedures (SOPs) you have authored
- ✓Implementation plans for new competitive systems
- ✓5S audit records and workplace organisation photos
Strategic Oversight
- ✓Operational objective reports and KPI tracking
- ✓Resource allocation plans and efficiency reports
- ✓Risk assessments for proposed process changes
This is general guidance based on training.gov.au. Specific requirements will be confirmed by the delivering RTO's assessor when RPL becomes available.
