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.

- Record of results (which includes details of the issuing RTO and the date issued),
