Work experience
Skills developed through employment, self-employment or hands-on practice.
Explore how your existing work experience and skills may count towards nationally recognised Australian qualifications through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
RPL is an assessment process where an authorised Registered Training Organisation (RTO) evaluates skills and knowledge you already possess against the requirements of a qualification. Outcomes depend on evidence and assessment.
Skills developed through employment, self-employment or hands-on practice.
Relevant experience and training completed outside Australia may be considered.
Courses, licences, certificates and other learning may support your evidence.
Start with the field you know. We can help you identify relevant qualifications to discuss with an authorised assessment provider.
Examples for exploration only. Availability, current status, scope and eligibility must be checked with the relevant RTO.
* A qualification issued through RPL is not, by itself, a skills assessment outcome for migration, an occupational licence or a visa approval.
A simple, transparent process — with assessment and any qualification issuance performed by the relevant RTO.
Relevant, genuine, verifiable evidence helps qualified assessors make informed decisions. Requirements vary by qualification and provider.
