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 establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that specialise in mining. By registering your interest, you will be the first to know when a formal recognition pathway is open.
Why should I register my interest now?
Registering interest allows us to gauge demand and accelerate the partnership process with RTOs. It also ensures you receive updates on evidence requirements so you can begin preparing your portfolio early.
Is RPL the same as completing a training course?
RPL is an assessment-only pathway that recognises the skills you have already developed on the job. While the qualification issued is identical to one earned through study, the process focuses on proving your existing competency rather than learning new material.
How do I demonstrate gas or ventilation management expertise?
Evidence typically includes statutory records, shift logs, and monitoring reports you have completed as part of your role. The RTO's assessor will look for evidence that you can apply and monitor these management plans in a live underground environment.
What happens if I have experience but no formal paperwork for some units?
If the RTO's assessor identifies gaps in your evidence, they may suggest targeted gap training. This allows you to complete only the specific components you need, rather than repeating the entire qualification.
Who conducts the final assessment?
The formal assessment is conducted by a qualified assessor from one of our partner Registered Training Organisations. Our role at RPL it is to guide you through the preparation of your evidence portfolio to ensure it meets the required standards.
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.
