RPL recognizes the skills you have gained from other courses, life experience, work experience and training provided at work. The RPL process measures your skills against the outcomes of a course or module.
RPL includes course/module exemptions.
It is important to apply for RPL if you think you have already got some experience that might be relevant to your course.
The advantages of RPL are:
You can work out whether your experience and/or training are similar to that required by the course/module for which you have enrolled. (Note: results can only be entered after enrolment.)
If you have already achieved some of the outcomes you might not have to do some of those again thereby saving time and effort.
It means that you only have to do modules which are new and challenging.
It recognizes that you are commencing with many skills—that you are not a total beginner.
Cost of RPL is $750 per qualification level.
For units that cannot be granted RPL because of lack of valid evidence a $70 fee per unit will apply total RPL fees will never go above the listed price for the certificate level for which RPL is being sought.
