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 stage of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) for the Certificate II in Wool Handling. While not yet open for enrolment, we are actively working to bring this pathway to the wool industry.
Why should I register my interest?
Registering your interest allows us to gauge industry demand, which helps us prioritise this qualification with our RTO partners. It also ensures you are the first to be notified as soon as the recognition process becomes available.
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. It is issued by a Registered Training Organisation and meets the same national standards; only the method of assessment differs.
Does seasonal work count toward the evidence requirements?
Absolutely. Lived experience in the wool industry is often cumulative. We look for evidence of your skills across different sheds and seasons to demonstrate that you meet the required competency standards.
How do I demonstrate my skills in wool pressing if I don't have a current supervisor?
Evidence can take many forms, including third-party testimonials from Wool Classers you have worked with, photos of your branded bales, or video demonstrations of you operating the press safely in a shed environment.
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.
