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.

Is this qualification currently available through RPL?
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that can offer this specific Graduate Certificate. At this stage, we are inviting practitioners to register their interest.
Why should I register my interest today?
Registering your interest ensures you are the first to be notified once a suitable RTO partner is secured. It also helps us understand the demand for this specific qualification, allowing us to advocate for a more efficient recognition process for experienced practitioners.
Is RPL for a Graduate Certificate the same as studying it?
The outcome is identical. The RPL process applies the same national assessment standards as a traditional course. The difference is that RPL assesses your existing evidence of competency rather than requiring you to repeat learning you have already mastered on the job.
What level of experience is required for this Graduate Certificate?
This level of recognition is designed for those making complex, independent judgements and taking full responsibility for their work. Typically, this involves significant experience in self-directed roles with substantial depth of knowledge in career development or counselling.
How do I protect client privacy when providing evidence?
When documenting your career sessions, all evidence must be anonymised. Your consultant will guide you on how to redact sensitive information while still demonstrating your ability to conduct professional career development sessions.
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 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.
