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 and historical resumes
  • Detailed position descriptions

  • Market research and analysis reports
  • Detailed procurement plans

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this qualification and RPL.

Is this qualification currently available via RPL?
We are currently in the process of identifying Registered Training Organisation partners who meet our standards for this public sector qualification. While not immediately available for enrolment, registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when the pathway opens.
Why should I register my interest now?
Registering interest allows us to gauge demand and accelerate the onboarding of suitable RTOs. It also ensures you receive updates regarding any changes to the PSP training package that may affect your recognition journey.
Is RPL the same as a traditional study course?
RPL is a rigorous assessment of existing competency, whereas study is the process of acquiring new skills. Both pathways result in the same nationally recognised qualification, but RPL respects the time you have already invested in your career.
What specific procurement experience is needed?
Evidence should reflect your ability to manage procurement risks, conduct complex negotiations, and oversee contract performance within a structured, often public sector, framework.
How does the public sector focus impact the evidence required?
While the qualification is from the Public Sector Training Package, evidence of managing procurement in any highly regulated environment is often transferable. We will guide you in demonstrating how your expertise aligns with public service values and legislative requirements.
