RPL
What is Recognised Prior Learning (RPL)?
Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) is a way for individuals to have their existing skills and knowledge formally recognised—whether these were gained through work, volunteering, or life experience.
It allows learners to receive credit toward a nationally recognised qualification, so they do not need to relearn what they already know. This can save time and help them move through their course more efficiently.
How Does RPL Work?
It’s a simple process:
- We review your experience: We’ll look at what you’ve already done—whether that’s in your job, as a volunteer, or in other areas of your life.
- You provide proof: You’ll share examples of your work or any documents, certificates, or references that show your skills.
- We compare it to the course: Our experienced trainers will check if your existing knowledge meets the course requirements. If it does, you could get credit for parts of the course.
