Convert Your Skills into a Nationally Recognised Qualification with RPL

RPL, or Recognition of Prior Learning, is the way Australian workers turn their existing skills and work experience into a nationally recognised qualification. Instead of studying the course from scratch, you show evidence of what you already do at work, and a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) assesses it against the qualification.

It's the same qualification you'd get by studying. The difference is that you don't have to sit through classes for skills you already have.

The cost of RPL depends on the qualification and your experience, so we give you the correct quote after a free initial assessment. That way you never pay more than you need to. And with our Price Beat Guarantee*, if you find a lower price for the same qualification, we'll beat it. Conditions apply.* Call 1800 325 210 to start your free assessment.

The RPL service fee is paid in full before your application goes to our partner RTO. We accept payment by bank transfer.

Most of the time goes into gathering your evidence, and our advisors help you do that quickly. Once your evidence is complete, our partner RTO can finalise your qualification in as little as 15 business days*. Conditions apply.* Studying the same qualification the traditional way can take one to two years.

Yes. Your qualification is issued by an Australian Registered Training Organisation and is recognised everywhere in Australia under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

RPL suits people with genuine, hands on work experience in Australia that matches the qualification they want. Most applicants need at least two years, and often three or more, of relevant Australian work experience, depending on the qualification, and you must be able to back it up with clear, verifiable evidence.

Not sure if you qualify? Our free RPL eligibility check takes less than a minute.

Common evidence includes a current resume, references from employers or supervisors, payslips, position descriptions, photos or videos of your work, work documents you've produced, and any licences, tickets or short courses you've completed. We give you a checklist made for your qualification so you know exactly what to collect.

Yes. The whole process is done online, so you can get your RPL qualification from anywhere in Australia without visiting a campus.

No, and anyone who promises otherwise isn't being straight with you. The outcome depends on your evidence. The partner RTO and its assessor make every decision, and if your evidence doesn't cover all the units, you may need to complete some gap training. XPQualify can't influence assessment outcomes.

No. XPQualify is not an RTO and does not issue qualifications. We check your eligibility, guide you through your evidence and refer you to our trusted partner RTOs, who assess you and issue your qualification.

Studying a course is built for people who are new to the field and need to learn from the start. RPL is for people who already do the work. For example, a Diploma of Building and Construction can take years through study, while an experienced builder could have it finalised through RPL in as little as 15 business days* once their evidence is complete.
