RPL INFORMATION
Can you apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – What You Need to Know
RPL is not a shortcut. It is a formal process to recognise your existing skills and knowledge. You must provide valid, current, and sufficient evidence to prove your competence. It does not stop the need for completing reports/forms, knowledge assessment questions.
Mandatory RPL Induction
All learners must watch an RPL induction video before starting RPL.
The video explains the RPL process, assessment methods, evidence requirements, and your responsibilities.
Evidence Requirements
Axiom Compliance Learning will determine what evidence is required.
Evidence may include:
· Workplace documents, portfolios, or third-party reports
· CV or resume outlining your relevant experience (you will be provided a checklist to guide what information to include)
· Competency conversations or interviews
· RPL tasks designed to show your skills and knowledge
· Online Knowledge Assessment questions
· Practical demonstrations or skills observations by a qualified assessor
· Workplace tasks or challenge assessments
In accordance with the Standards for RTOs:
· Only evidence that directly demonstrates competence for the specific unit can be accepted. Evidence from other qualifications, similar subjects, or unrelated training packages cannot be used alone.
· Only evidence from the last two (2) years will generally be accepted. Older evidence must be supported by proof of ongoing competency.
Important Notes
· RPL is a thorough, evidence-based process. General experience alone is not sufficient. All evidence is assessed against unit requirements and industry standards.
· If evidence is insufficient, additional training or assessments may be required, and additional fees could apply.
· Successful RPL earns a Statement of Attainment, formally recognising your competence.
Remember: Be prepared — Axiom will select the evidence you must provide, including a CV guided by our checklist.
Axiom Compliance always recommends face-to-face training over RPL, as it provides valuable opportunities to develop new skills and gain up-to-date industry knowledge
