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.

When will the Diploma of Test and Evaluation be available for RPL?
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations that deliver this specific Defence qualification. By registering your interest, you will be the first to know when the pathway is open for evidence submission.
Why should I register my interest now?
Registering allows us to gauge demand and expedite the partnership process. It also ensures you receive a preliminary review of your experience so you are prepared to begin the formal assessment as soon as the RTO partnership is finalised.
Is RPL the same as studying the course?
Recognition of Prior Learning is an assessment-only pathway that acknowledges the skills you have already developed through your career. It applies the same national standards as a traditional course, but it focuses on evidence of your existing competence rather than new instruction.
What kind of Defence experience is relevant for this Diploma?
Evidence of managing project risks, interpreting complex Defence policy, and providing technical advice regarding test and evaluation processes is highly relevant. Experience in stakeholder engagement and workplace document refinement is also core to this qualification.
Do I need to be a current ADF member to apply?
