"...Even though I work as an RPL specialist within an RTO I feel I that I have built on my existing RPL skills. Reflecting on how I used to do RPL to what I've learnt now, I feel I will be able to make the process quicker and far more flexible [for candidates]. I'm looking forward to it actually!"

"...LMS and course design was done well. It was easy to navigate and progress through the sessions/sections"

"...I've gained new strategies. My boss is pleased I can offer insight on how to improve our current RPL offering"

"...the program was fantastic - it goes into depth about things I had not learned before"

"...Skills Education, 2 of my trainers just finished and I have to say, it's been the most satisfying and beneficial learning for them! They both got so much out of it, thank you 🙏" - RTO CEO


Why is PD in RPL important?

You might have recently heard that the Australian National VET Regulator, ASQA, has named recognition of prior learning (RPL) as one of their regulatory risk priorities for the 2024-25 year.  This is on the back of RPL being a regulatory risk priority in the previous period also.

ASQA are particularly concerned about non-rigorous RPL practices and people being issued qualifications via RPL without having the necessary skills and competencies. We're proud to have a microcredential specifically designed to address these very issues (plus more!).

Things we know

ü  The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is an entry-level qualification and it prepares graduates well to facilitate delivery of training and assessment however, although elements of clustering as a technique and RPL as an assessment pathway are included, the 'Cert IV' does not specialise in either of these areas - both of which address advanced practice servicing real-world demands

ü  Direct anecdotal feedback tells us a high percentage of trainer/assessors do not feel confident assessing an RPL application - let alone developing the tools

ü  RPL candidates are often left frustrated at the barriers within processes that make it difficult to have their existing skills and knowledge recognised. Many times, via processes that rely on a mountain of paperwork without needing to

ü  There is a shortage of qualified, skilled workers - many workers are skilled, but unrecognised. RPL, done well, is a meaningful way to effectively address this national issue

ü  Enterprise RTOs can use this method to map workers' skills to nationally recognised training products and easily support their workforce to achieve outcomes that result in nationally recognised qualifications. And all this can be done without massive amounts of time 'offline' to do training or fill out assessment paperwork

ü  RTOs with staff that can apply a pro-active candidate-centred approach to RPL are in high demand from industry - these courses show how to design and implement the tools and processes required

ü  Skills recognition is the preferred option when a person already knows how to do the job and already has the required competencies. The question becomes: Why are so many potential RPL candidates reporting they feel pressure in the process and end up thinking "it's just easier to do the course"?
