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) that can deliver this specific aviation qualification. By registering your interest, you will be the first to know when a formal RPL pathway is active.
Why should I register my interest?
Aviation qualifications require specific RTO scopes and assessor expertise. Registering helps us prioritise which partnerships to finalise first and ensures you receive direct support the moment the pathway opens.
Is an RPL qualification the same as one from full-time study?
Yes. A qualification achieved through Recognition of Prior Learning is issued by a Registered Training Organisation and carries the same national weight as one earned through traditional study. The difference is that it recognises the expertise you have already acquired in the cockpit.
Does this qualification grant me a CASA Commercial Pilot Licence?
No. While the Diploma covers the vocational competencies, CASA remains the sole authority for issuing flight crew licences. You will still need to meet CASA's medical, flight test, and theory examination requirements as dictated by Part 61 regulations.
Can my military flight experience be used as evidence?
Absolutely. Lived expertise gained in Defence aviation is highly valued. Your military flight logs, training records, and operational experience are excellent forms of evidence to demonstrate competency against the national standards.
How do I provide evidence of my flight hours?
Your pilot logbook is the primary record of your experience. We will guide you in presenting these logs, alongside other operational documents, to ensure they clearly demonstrate your competency in both normal and emergency flight conditions.
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.
