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 qualification. It is not yet available for immediate enrolment, but we are working to secure a high-quality recognition pathway.
Why should I register my interest?
By registering your interest, you ensure that you are the first to be notified as soon as we have an RTO partner ready to assess this qualification. This allows you to begin your recognition journey at the earliest possible opportunity.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?
Yes. A qualification achieved through Recognition of Prior Learning is the same nationally recognised certificate as one earned through classroom study. It is assessed against the same national standards and carries the same value in the industry.
Can I specialise in a specific area like Stablehand or Stud Hand?
Yes, the Certificate II in Racing Industry allows for specialisations. Depending on your experience, your recognition can be focused on Stablehand, Stud Hand, Track Maintenance, or Administration roles.
How does this qualification help with my racing licence?
Most Principal Racing Authorities require a formal qualification as part of the licensing process for stablehands and attendants. This qualification provides the formal evidence of competency often required for your registration.
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.
