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 RPL for this Diploma currently available?
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that hold this specific qualification on their scope. At this stage, we are accepting registrations of interest to gauge demand and keep experienced supervisors informed.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering your interest ensures you are the first to be notified once a recognition pathway is established. It also allows us to begin an initial review of your experience so you are well-positioned for the assessment process when it opens.
Is RPL the same as studying the course?
No. While the outcome is the same nationally recognised qualification, RPL assesses the competency you have already developed through years of work. It is a process of recognition for your existing expertise rather than a program of new learning.
What level of experience is required for a Diploma?
A Diploma reflects the role of a supervisor or manager. You should have significant experience in planning, selecting equipment, and applying technical judgement in onshore drilling environments, often with autonomy over your own work and the work of others.
Will I need to complete gap training?
If the RTO's assessor identifies areas where your current evidence does not fully demonstrate competency against the national standard, gap training may be required. This is targeted specifically to the units needed and builds on your existing knowledge.
How is my evidence assessed?
Your evidence portfolio will be reviewed by a qualified assessor from the delivering RTO. They may contact you for a technical interview or request a practical demonstration to verify that your experience meets the required competency standards.
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.
