Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates an individual’s existing skills, knowledge and experience—gained through work, training or life experiences—against the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification or competency standard. RPL recognises competencies an individual has already acquired and may reduce the need for further study, depending on the assessment outcome. It is commonly used in the Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) system. Through RPL, candidates may receive credit towards part or all of a qualification, subject to the relevant assessment requirements. This process can benefit experienced workers, including migrants with relevant overseas experience or qualifications.
