RPL it Australia reviews
Adam provided excellent support throughout my Heavy Mechanic qualification. Despite some delays, he kept us informed and consistently reassured us. His professionalism and dedication made the process much smoother. I highly recommend his service.
Adam made it so easy to get my certificate. He did all the work for me and let me know what he needed from me, I had a very good experience.
Fantastic service, advice and support! Well done RPLit!!!
Couldn't be happier with the service from Adam! I was a bit skeptical at first since everything seemed quite easy to achieve. But Adam knew his stuff, and he guided me through the process very efficiently, and supported me with any queries along the way. It only took me nearly 2 weeks to get my Diploma with NO tasks required, purely from my profile.
Excellent RPL service. They guided me through the whole process to obtain my Certificate III in a clear and professional way. Communication was always quick and helpful. I really appreciate their support and highly recommend them.

Got more questions?Most candidates who submit a complete evidence portfolio receive their qualification within 4 to 6 weeks from RTO assessment. The total timeline depends on evidence readiness. Strong documentation can help the process move quickly, while evidence gaps or gap training may take longer.
Yes. An RPL qualification is issued under the Australian Qualifications Framework, the same framework that governs qualifications from TAFE colleges and all other Registered Training Organisations. It carries the same national recognition. Licensing requirements vary, so check with the relevant authority.
RPL costs vary by qualification level, complexity, and number of units. Because RPL assesses what you already know rather than teaching new content, it is typically less expensive than full enrolment. Contact our team for a tailored quote. Payment plans are interest-free with no establishment fee, and the instalment schedule and any extension fee that could apply are set out in your quote.
Evidence can include your resume, reference letters from employers, photos or videos of your work, previous qualifications and certificates, job descriptions, and any other documentation that demonstrates your skills and knowledge. The RTO tells you exactly what evidence it needs for your specific qualification, and your RPL it consultant helps you put it together.
Yes, if you hold a qualification or Statement of Attainment that includes units equivalent to units in this qualification. This is called credit transfer. The delivering RTO checks your AQF certification documents or authenticated VET transcript. Where a unit is equivalent and your certification is authenticated, the RTO must grant credit for it. It can refuse only on limited grounds, for example where a licensing or regulatory requirement calls for reassessment.
