What is Recognition Prior Learning (RPL)?

The practice of assessing a person's past knowledge and learning (including formal, informal, and non-formal learning) in Australia or elsewhere is known as Recognition of Prior Learning. Registered Training Organizations (RTO) grant RPL based on an assessment of an individual's past learnings that are equal to the learning outcomes of Australian Qualifications. RPL is an evaluation approach that makes formal credentials more accessible to those who are currently working and advancing their professions. It may be accomplished by credit transfer or advanced standing.

There are a few items to complete before you can start utilizing Recognition of Prior Learning. Your eligibility will be influenced by the industry you work in, the type of qualification you want, and any applicable formal or informal prior learning. Each sector and certification have its own set of qualifying requirements. For each certification and detailed information on eligibility criteria, please call us.

RPL allows you to obtain a certificate for your abilities by relying on your industry experience rather than significant study. RPL qualification can help you enhance your employability, increase your earning potential, advance in your job, or further your education.

Following the processes for evaluating your abilities via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can provide several professional and lifestyle benefits. Optek International is your educational and professional development partner. When you choose to upskill, you have access to tools and expert knowledge from our network of partner Registered Training Organizations (RTOs). We have specialized advisers that will work with you to achieve your certification as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Recognition Prior Learning (RPL)

The purpose of RPL

To appreciate an individual’s talents and give equal opportunities for assessing and recognizing them, regardless of time, place, or way of acquiring the knowledge and skills.

To promote lifetime comprehension and adaptation between and across the educational process and the labour market. Improving access to education for individuals who are socially disadvantaged to extend their possibilities to obtain an education and participate in the labour market, and therefore contribute to making people an effective valuable resource for society.
