Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the formal acknowledgment of your existing skills and knowledge. It’s based on the premise that you do not need to undertake training for skills you already possess.
Your current skills and knowledge may have been obtained through:
- Formal training
- Work experience
- Life experience
The RPL application process requires you to provide evidence of, or demonstrate, your current ability to perform the requirements of a subject(s) within your course.
If you can show that you have the required skills or knowledge then you will be granted RPL, and exempt from completing the work required for that subject. Refer to the colleges RPL policy and procedure for more detail or contact us to find out more information.
Please note, each provider has their own RPL process and Terms & Conditions.
Advanced Pathways does not take part in this process and you will be referred to the TAFE, RTO or University relevant to the course you have selected to study.
Once you find the right course, the link to RPL and Ts and Cs will be located on that page.
