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 aviation qualification. While not immediately available for assessment, we encourage you to register your interest to be notified the moment the pathway opens.
Why should I register my interest?+
Registering ensures you are the first to know when we have a partner RTO ready to assess your airborne experience. It also allows us to provide you with early guidance on the types of flight logs and operational evidence you should begin organising.
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 nationally recognised and meets the same rigorous standards of the AVI Training Package.
Can my military airborne experience count toward this qualification?+
Lived experience in military aviation environments is highly relevant to this qualification. Many of the core units, such as risk management and human factors, align directly with military flight crew training and operational standards.
Will this qualification automatically grant me a CASA authorisation?+
No qualification alone grants a CASA authorisation. However, it provides the formal evidence of competency that CASA requires for aerial work roles. You will still need to meet CASA's specific regulatory and medical requirements for your desired authorisation.
What role does 'Human Factors' play in the assessment?+
Human factors management is a core component of aviation safety. The assessment will look for evidence of how you manage fatigue, communication, and decision-making within the cockpit or cabin environment to maintain the safety of the aircraft and personnel.
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.
