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 the Diploma of Surveying currently available?+
We are in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that specialise in surveying and spatial services. While not currently open for enrolment, registering your interest ensures you are notified as soon as a recognition pathway becomes available.
Why should I register my interest now?+
Registering allows us to gauge industry demand and prioritise the development of this qualification pathway. It also gives you early access to evidence-gathering guides so you can begin preparing your portfolio of surveying experience.
Is RPL the same as completing a surveying course?+
RPL focuses on recognition, not repetition. While a traditional course teaches you new skills, RPL is a formal assessment process that evaluates the expertise you have already gained on the job against national standards.
What are the entry requirements for this qualification?+
Candidates typically need to hold a Certificate IV in Surveying or be able to demonstrate equivalent vocational experience and knowledge commensurate with that level of work before proceeding to the Diploma.
Does this qualification allow me to perform cadastral surveying?+
While the Diploma covers advanced surveying skills, cadastral surveying (land boundaries) must be undertaken under the supervision of a registered surveyor. You should consult your state or territory regulatory authority for specific registration requirements.
What happens if the assessor identifies gaps in my evidence?+
If the RTO assessor determines that your evidence does not fully cover certain units, they will provide a pathway for gap training. This allows you to complete only the specific components you need, rather than starting the qualification from scratch.
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.
