How does RPL Work?

RPL is an assessment of your existing skills and knowledge.

Unlike standard assessment for which you answer questions, provide case studies and complete physical activities according to pre-mapped requirements, RPL assessors collect evidence of accomplishment from your experience. The evidence is mapped to ensure that it meets the requirements of the relevant training package to help you obtain a nationally recognised qualification in five simple steps:

• 01. INITIAL ASSESSMENT

  Upon submission of your resume, an assessor will assess your qualifications and experience to see whether you are eligible for RPL.

• 02. EVIDENCE GATHERING

  Once you have been deemed eligible for RPL, your assessor will guide you with regards to the evidence required. Submit as much evidence as possible for review.

• 03. MAPPING

  Upon receipt of your evidence, the assessor will map it against the requirements of the training package to assess competence.

• 04. GAP TRAINING / FURTHER EVIDENCE

  If your assessor identifies gaps in your evidence. You will have the opportunity to provide additional evidence, undertake an RPL interview (competency conversation), or complete further tasks.

• 5. CONCLUSION

  On completion of the above steps, your application will enter into a final administrative process. During this phase, your application will be assessed to ensure the correct processes were followed and that it adheres to the consistency and quality of assessment decisions. Upon approval, your qualification will be issued.
