Recognition of Prior Learning What is it?

RPL recognises what you have already learned from other courses, from life experience, from work experience and from any training provided at work, and measures this against the course you are doing or want to do. If what you have learned at work or elsewhere is relevant to the course, you may not have to do those parts of the course again.

8

Why apply for RPL? -

It is important to apply for RPL if you think you already have experience that might be relevant to your course. The advantages of applying for RPL are: 1. You can work out whether your experience is similar to that required by the course. 2. If you have already achieved some of the learning outcomes of the course, you might not have to do those sections of the course again. This could mean finishing your course much earlier, or not having such a heavy course load. 3. It means that you only study subjects which are new and challenging. You do not have to study subjects in which you have already gained skills and knowledge. 4. It recognises that you are entering a course with many skills - that you are not a total beginner.

How it works - What happens?

If you decide to apply for RPL you will be asked to complete an application form giving details of your relevant experience, skills and knowledge. An RPL assessor will help you identify what evidence you need to provide for a successful application. When you feel you have gathered together sufficient evidence, the RPL assessor will arrange a formal interview with you. At the interview, the assessor will examine your documented evidence and ask you questions to determine whether you are eligible for recognition of prior learning. After the interview, you will be notified of the RPL decision. If your application is successful, you will not be required to do certain parts of the course program If your application is unsuccessful, you can appeal against the decision if you believe it was unfair.

What do I do now?

If you think you might be eligible for RPL, you need to ask for an RPL application form. (Take this information sheet with you to make sure you get the right form.) If you are not sure about whether to apply for RPL, you should: 1. Obtain an RPL form from the office 2. Discuss your situation with the course trainer and/or assessor.
