What Is Recognition of Prior Learning?
Recognition of Prior Learning is a formal assessment process that evaluates skills, knowledge, and experience you have gained through your career against the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification.
You gather relevant workplace evidence and a qualified assessor from the delivering Registered Training Organisation evaluates that evidence. If the assessor determines every competency requirement is met, the RTO issues the qualification.

Is this qualification currently available through RPL it?
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) who can assess this specific qualification. While not yet available for immediate enrolment, registering your interest ensures you will be the first to know once a pathway is secured.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering your interest allows us to gauge demand and accelerate our partnership process with RTOs. It also ensures that we can provide you with tailored guidance on gathering your evidence while the formal pathway is being finalised.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?
Yes. A qualification achieved through Recognition of Prior Learning is identical to one earned through classroom study. It is nationally recognised and meets the same Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) standards, as it assesses the same competencies.
Will I need to provide photos of my artwork as evidence?
Yes, visual evidence is a crucial part of the RPL process for creative arts. This may include high-quality photographs of finished pieces, videos of you practising your craft, or scans of your design sketches and journals.
How is cultural identity and heritage assessed through RPL?
The RPL process respects that your cultural identity is personal. Assessment focuses on how you apply your understanding of identity and culture to your arts practice and how you work within an Indigenous cultural framework as required by the units.
Can I use experience from different mediums like textiles and woodworking?
Absolutely. This qualification allows for a range of elective specialisations. Your evidence can reflect your experience across various mediums including textiles, painting, wood, or digital arts, provided they align with the chosen units of competency.
What does registering my interest mean?
Registering your interest means you'd like to be notified when this qualification becomes available through RPL. There's no commitment. We'll contact you when an RTO partnership is confirmed for this qualification.
Why isn't this qualification available yet?
RPL It works with partner RTOs to deliver qualifications. We're currently exploring RTO partnerships for this qualification. Registering your interest helps us prioritise which qualifications to focus on next.
What happens after I register my interest?
You'll receive a confirmation, and we'll keep your details on file. When a partner RTO is confirmed for this qualification, we'll contact you with the next steps, including how to start your free skills review.
Can I still do a free skills review for this qualification?
Yes. A free skills review helps you understand whether your experience aligns with the qualification requirements, regardless of whether an RTO partner is currently available. It's a useful first step while you wait.
