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 the Certificate III in Light Rail Driving be available?
We are currently in the research and partnership phase for this qualification. We are working to establish relationships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that specialise in rail transport to ensure your experience is assessed by industry experts.
Why should I register my interest now?
By registering your interest, you ensure you are the first to be notified when a suitable RTO partnership is established. This allows us to gauge demand and advocate for a fair recognition pathway for experienced light rail drivers.
Is RPL the same as completing a driving course?
No. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that recognises the skills and knowledge you have already developed on the job. It treats your experience as evidence of competency, rather than requiring you to repeat training for skills you already possess.
Can I use experience from different rail networks?
Yes. Experience gained across various metropolitan or suburban light rail and tram systems is highly relevant. Your evidence portfolio will be designed to demonstrate how your specific expertise meets the national standards for this qualification.
Who conducts the final assessment?
The formal assessment is conducted by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation. Our role as your guide is to help you compile your evidence portfolio so it clearly demonstrates your competency to the assessor.
What happens if the assessor identifies gaps in my evidence?
If the RTO's assessor identifies areas where your evidence does not fully cover the qualification requirements, they will provide a pathway for gap training. This targeted learning builds on your existing foundation rather than starting from scratch.
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.
