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?

💼

Work History & Roles

  • A comprehensive CV detailing your history in international supply chains
  • Position descriptions highlighting your role in customs clearance
  • Letters of support from licensed customs brokers or senior managers
📋

Tariff & Valuation

  • Samples of tariff classification determinations and supporting rationales
  • Customs valuation worksheets for complex import scenarios
  • Evidence of determining indirect taxes including GST and LCT
🛂

Border Compliance

  • Records of biosecurity border clearance submissions and permits
  • Documentation demonstrating the management of goods under customs control
  • Evidence of applying import and export prohibitions or restrictions
🌏

Trade Agreements

  • Free Trade Agreement (FTA) compliance documentation
  • Records of applying anti-dumping and countervailing measures
