About This Qualification
This qualification specifies the skills and knowledge required to measure current sustainability performance across an organisation and to establish processes for improved sustainability performance. It applies to job roles with a focus on sustainability and a managerial or technician level of responsibility, authority and autonomy who will liaise with senior management and other stakeholders to drive and influence change across an organisation. This qualification has no formal entry requirement due to the wide variety of sustainability applications in industry.

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.”

Work History & Roles
