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.

Why should I register my interest now?
Registering interest helps us gauge demand and accelerates our efforts to secure RTO partnerships. It also ensures you receive updates on evidence requirements specific to underground coal mining management.
Is RPL the same as completing a mining course?

Does this qualification cover statutory ventilation requirements?
Yes, the core units include implementing ventilation, gas, and strata management plans, which are essential competencies for statutory undermanager roles in most states.
What happens if I lack evidence for a specific management plan?
If an assessor identifies a gap in your evidence portfolio, the delivering RTO will provide targeted gap training. This allows you to build on your foundation without repeating the areas where you are already competent.
