Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), also known as prior learning assessment or prior learning recognition, is a process through which individuals can gain recognition for the skills, knowledge, and experiences they have acquired through formal or informal learning, regardless of where or how the learning occurred. RPL acknowledges that learning happens in various contexts, not just within traditional educational institutions.

The process typically involves assessing an individual’s existing skills and knowledge against established learning outcomes or competency standards. This assessment can take various forms, including interviews, portfolios, demonstrations, examinations, or other methods, depending on the requirements of the program or institution offering RPL.

RPL Process

Edit Content

Step 1. Candidate completes ‘SELF-ASSESSMENT’ in Candidate RPL Kit, ensuring they provide an honest self-evaluation of their current skills, knowledge and experience against each unit of competency they are seeking RPL for.

Note: Proceed to ‘Step 2’ if they wish to continue and apply for RPL based on their self-evaluation.

Step 2. Decide which units of competency for which they are seeking RPL for.

Step 3. Candidate completes ‘APPLICATION’ in Candidate RPL Kit by providing all relevant details. The ‘Suggested Evidence Matrix’ is used to gather as much evidence about their work/life experiences as possible. One or more referees are nominated who may be contacted by the assessor to support their application.

Step 4. Candidate submits the completed RPL kit with their evidence attached and referenced (via email or post, depending on the volume and type of evidence they are submitting).

Eligibility for RPL

Edit Content

As stated earlier, not all individuals will be eligible for RPL for the Diploma of Building and Construction CPC50220. This is primarily due to verbal claims made relating to knowledge, skills and previous experience not being substantiated with supporting evidence.
A verbal claim about what experiences an individual may have is not sufficient. All claims must be supported with evidence relating to each claim.
To be eligible and for us to consider a candidate’s application, the candidate can provide the following evidences along with a filled application form:
Minimum 2 years of job experience in the industry with previous experience and qualification gained for any trades like carpentry or bricklaying.

The RPL Assessment

Edit Content

It is essential that assessment via RPL meets the same level of rigor applied to any other formal assessment and is conducted in accordance with the Standards for RTOs 2015, Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence.
