How RPL works

Recognition of Prior Learning, explained in plain English

RPL is a formal assessment of the skills you already have. If your evidence meets the national standard, an RTO awards the qualification without making you repeat training you don't need.

The process

Four steps, one consultant

Free skills check

Tell us about your work in about a minute. A consultant calls to understand your experience and recommends the qualification that fits.

With us

Build your portfolio

You get an evidence checklist written for your qualification. We help you collect references, photos, videos and documents and present them the way assessors expect.

With us

RTO assessment

A qualified assessor at our partner RTO reviews your evidence against each unit. They may ask for a competency conversation, more evidence or gap training.

With the RTO

Receive your qualification

When you are assessed as competent, the RTO issues your nationally recognised qualification and record of results.

Evidence

What assessors need to see

Good evidence is authentic, current, relevant to the units and enough to show you can do the work consistently.

Photo ID (100 points) and your Unique Student Identifier (USI)
Current résumé covering your roles and dates
Reference or letter of employment on company letterhead
Payslips, contracts, ABN records or tax summaries showing time in the industry
Work samples, photos and short videos of you doing the work
Certificates, licences, tickets and transcripts from earlier training

Who makes the decision?

A qualified assessor at the partner RTO. Fast Track Recognition prepares and supports your application but does not assess it.

What if there are gaps?

The assessor can ask for more evidence, a practical demonstration or gap training in specific units. You only train for what is missing.

What do I receive?

A nationally recognised qualification and record of results, or a statement of attainment for the units you have been assessed as competent in.
