Recognition of Prior Learning: How it Works

Traxion Training helps Australians to achieve qualifications through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Our service is designed for experienced professionals who are currently working in the childcare, education or community services industries, and who want to advance their career without taking time off or enrolling in full-time study.

With our support, there’s no need to start your training from scratch or spend hours in a lecture room. You’ll begin with a simple eligibility check, so we can understand your skills and see if you’re suitable for a qualification.

If you meet the requirements, we will fast-track your certification without the need for hours of study.

If a few areas need more work, we’ll show you exactly what’s missing and how to fill the gaps. It’s a smarter, faster way to get recognised for what you already know.

Get the certification without the study

Recognition of prior learning is all about the skills and knowledge you’ve collected through work and life experiences.

If you have been working in your field for years but never had the time to achieve formal qualifications and you know you have been missing out on opportunities because of it, this is the answer you’re looking for.

That new job could be closer than you think! Once we confirm your eligibility, our consultants will work with you to finalise your certification in as little as 30 days.

How You’ll Qualify: Flexible Online Delivery

Achieve your next qualification online with Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Traxion Training specialises in supporting experienced professionals who are currently employed in their respective industries.

As part of the RPL process, you will begin by completing a self-reflection questionnaire. This initial step will identify your existing skills and knowledge, determining whether you are eligible for RPL or if additional training is needed to meet the qualification requirements.

Successful RPL outcomes can significantly shorten training and learning duration, ensuring a more efficient path to achieving your next diploma or certificate. You’ll either be able to qualify entirely online without the need to study, or we will recommend one or two modules to get you over line.

Choose a tailored and flexible online approach that will help you unlock the next stage in your career sooner.

RPL & Credit Transfer Explained

Recognition of Prior Learning is all about the skills and knowledge you’ve collected through work and life experiences and then transferring them to current training course requirements.

Credit transfer also recognises previous formal learning (e.g. other VET qualifications).

Our consultants will request:

  • A copy of your existing qualification
  • Record of results (which includes details of the issuing RTO and the date issued),
  • Statement of attainment previously issued for each unit of competency, or authenticated VET transcripts downloaded from the USI (Unique Student Identifier) platform.

All courses can be completed using an assessment only pathway through RPL in Traxion if you possess sufficient skills and experience, as determined by the assessor.
