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 RPL for the Diploma of Cosmetic Tattooing currently available?+
We are currently in the process of establishing partnerships with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that specialise in this qualification. While we cannot facilitate assessment today, registering your interest ensures you are notified the moment the pathway becomes active.
Why should I register my interest now?+
Registering helps us prioritise which qualifications to bring online first. It also ensures you are at the front of the queue for a free skills review once our RTO partners are ready to begin the recognition process.
Is RPL the same as completing a course?+
Recognition of Prior Learning is an assessment-only pathway. It does not involve new study; instead, it provides a structured way for a qualified assessor to verify that your existing work experience meets the national standards for the qualification.
What if I have been operating as a self-employed artist?+
Self-employed practitioners are well-positioned for RPL. Your evidence may include business records, client testimonials, and a comprehensive portfolio of healed work to demonstrate your autonomous application of specialised skills.
Will my infection control knowledge be assessed?+
Yes. As cosmetic tattooing involves skin penetration, demonstrating competency in infection control and Australian health standards is a critical component of the assessment process conducted by the RTO.
How important is my portfolio for this diploma?+
A portfolio of healed results is essential. It serves as primary evidence of your technical skill, design principles, and pigmentology knowledge, allowing an assessor to see the real-world application of your expertise.
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.
