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.

When will RPL for this qualification be available?
We are currently in the process of vetting Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to ensure they meet our standards for trade recognition. Once a suitable partnership is established, we will open the qualification for skills reviews.
Why should I register my interest now?
Registering your interest ensures you are the first to know when the pathway opens. It also helps us demonstrate the demand for toolmaking recognition to our RTO partners, potentially accelerating the development of the assessment process.
Is RPL for toolmaking the same as completing an apprenticeship?
RPL leads to the same nationally recognised qualification as an apprenticeship. The difference lies in the evidence: an apprentice learns on the job, while an RPL candidate demonstrates they have already mastered those skills through years of experience.
What if my experience is specific to die maintenance rather than manufacture?
Toolmaking is a broad trade. Your evidence portfolio will be assessed against the specific units of competency. If your experience is deep in maintenance but lighter in manufacture, the RTO assessor will help identify if your evidence meets the standard or if gap training is required.
How do I prove my precision measurement skills?
Evidence often includes calibration records, quality control reports, and photos of you using precision tools like micrometers or vernier calipers. The assessor may also request a practical demonstration or a technical interview to verify your competence.
Does this qualification cover CNC machining?
While the core units focus on manual machining (lathe, milling, grinding), elective units can often include CNC operations. We will work with RTOs to ensure the elective streams align with modern toolmaking practices.
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.
