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 RTO partners to ensure they meet our standards for a respectful and rigorous recognition process. By registering your interest, you will be the first to know when we begin accepting applications.
Why should I register my interest now?+
Registering allows us to understand the demand and advocate for the needs of experienced education support workers. It also ensures you receive early access to our free skills review once the pathway is live.
Is RPL the same as a regular study pathway?+
RPL applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway, which is why the resulting qualification is equally valued. The difference is that we help you demonstrate that you have already met those standards through your years in the classroom.
How do I prove the 100 hours of classroom work?+
For experienced workers, these hours are typically demonstrated through employment records, signed logs from your supervising teacher, or a statement of service from your school. We will guide you on how to document this correctly.
What if I have experience but no formal certificate?+
That is exactly what RPL is for. If you have been working as a teacher's aide or support worker, your daily tasks and responsibilities can often be used as evidence of your competency against the national standard.
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.
