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.

When will RPL for the Diploma of Visual Arts be available?+
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with RTOs that specialise in the creative arts. By registering your interest, you will be the first to know when we can begin guiding candidates through this specific qualification.
Why should I register my interest now?+
Registering allows us to understand the demand for this qualification and helps us prioritise our RTO partnerships. It also ensures you receive early guidance on how to begin organising your evidence portfolio before the formal process opens.
Is RPL the same as completing a visual arts course?+
RPL is an assessment-only pathway that recognises the skills you have already developed through your professional practice. While the outcome is the same nationally recognised qualification, RPL focuses on evidence of existing competence rather than new instruction.
What kind of art mediums can be used for evidence?+
The diploma covers a wide range of forms including painting, ceramics, digital art, textiles, glasswork, and printmaking. Your evidence will be assessed based on how your specific medium demonstrates the required technical and conceptual standards.
Do I need to show evidence of art theory?+
Yes, practice at this level requires the ability to critically analyse information and apply arts theory. Your evidence might include research journals, written reflections on your work, or documentation of how historical contexts influence your creative choices.
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.
