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) for this specific training package. While not yet open for active assessment, registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when a pathway becomes available.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering allows us to gauge demand and prioritise which RTO partnerships we finalise first. It also ensures you receive updates regarding the evidence requirements and the official launch of the RPL pathway for the Certificate II in Printing and Graphic Arts.
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 traditional study. Both are issued by an RTO and are nationally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework.
What if my experience is limited to only one area, like digital printing?
This qualification is designed to be flexible. While there are core units regarding quality and work area maintenance, the elective units can be chosen to reflect your specific expertise, whether that is in digital media, pre-press, or finishing.
Do I need to be currently working in a print shop to apply?
While current employment can make gathering recent evidence easier, RPL is based on your total experience. As long as you can provide valid evidence of your competency against the units of the qualification, your prior work history is what matters.
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.
