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.”

📋

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this qualification and RPL.

Is RPL currently available for the Diploma of Leisure and Health?▾

We are currently in the process of identifying and partnering with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that specialise in this qualification. While a formal pathway is not yet open, registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when assessment becomes available.

Why should I register my interest now?▾

Registering helps us gauge the demand for this qualification, allowing us to prioritise it with our partner RTOs. It also ensures you receive updates regarding the specific evidence requirements and timelines as they are established.

Is RPL the same as completing the study?▾

RPL is a different pathway to the same outcome. While traditional study focuses on teaching you new skills, RPL focuses on recognising the expertise you have already gained through your work history and lived experience.

What kind of experience is relevant for this Diploma?▾

Experience in designing lifestyle programs, managing recreational teams, or working as a diversional therapist in aged care, disability services, or community day centres is highly relevant to this qualification.

Will I need to provide evidence of my hours worked?▾

Yes, this qualification requires a minimum of 240 hours of work in a leisure and health environment. Your evidence portfolio will need to demonstrate that your professional experience meets this requirement.

What happens if I have gaps in my evidence?▾

If an assessor identifies areas where your evidence does not fully meet the national standard, our partner RTOs provide targeted gap training. This allows you to build on your existing foundation rather than repeating what you already know.
