Recognition of Prior Learning

What is RPL?

The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is about acknowledging the skills and knowledge you've gained through work and life experiences. RPL values what you already know rather than where you learned your skill.

You shouldn’t have to spent time, money and resources re-learning what you already know. RPL allows those who have extensive knowledge or work experience to receive their qualifications sooner rather than later.
