Our RPL Qualifications
Trusted Qualifications, Respected RTO
As an Australian Accredited Registered Training Organisation (Registration Number 32773) by the Australian Skills Quality Authority, we are authorised to determine if your life and work experience satisfies the subject matter criteria of your course. Get your skills certified, Australia-wide.
Save time and money
RPL assessment means ‘removing waste’ from training. You won’t pay for subjects, nor will you waste time reading subject matter that you already understand. We comply with all laws and guidelines for Recognition of Prior Learning training requirements in Australia.
On budget workplace training programs
We offer workplace solutions, from a single employee to upskilling your workforce, with minimum disruption and zero budget waste. Your staff can study online, during quiet times, or in their own time. Each staff member will be skills certified to keep your time and financial investment to a minimum.
Improve your career prospects
When a prospective employer, or your workplace HR department must choose between two candidates, the one with the formal qualification will have the edge. Most job descriptions will list an accredited qualification as desirable. With RPL recognition, you bring your experience to the table, and help the interviewer choose you over other candidates.
Comply with Australian licencing and certifications
Australian qualifications are set to some of the highest standards in the world. Recognition of Prior Learning allows you to translate your previous study, informal learning or international qualifications into a format recognised under Australian training, certification, and licencing laws.
Advanced Standing at Australian universities
Achieve a post-graduate course using RPL with us and use it to cut the costs of expensive university courses. Post-graduate courses through Skills Recognition International can be used in your Advanced Standing Application as academic credits at most Australian universities*.
*It is advised to check with your learning institution before committing to an RPL post-grad course with us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any relevant experience qualifies as prior learning, whether that experience is formal or informal. As long as you have evidence, you’re qualified for RPL.
You can read the process above, which involves a self-assessment of your skills, a discussion with our team, enrolment, and providing proof of your experience.
Yes, this is one of the most important factors in an RPL assessment. Evidence cements your prior experience and helps us assess your qualifications for certain certifications.
The types of evidence typically presented for RPL include certification, licenses, and professional memberships. Portfolio, photographs, and even diary entries are also accepted. Third party information, such as references from previous peers and employers can also be used.
Yes! Whether you studied or worked in Australia or overseas, your experience can be assessed for RPL.
The entire process can be accomplished in a few weeks, depending on the amount of evidence you need to present and how long it will take you to gather your evidence.
As a Registered Training Organisation, we are able to assess your experience and skills against the learning outcomes of your chosen course. If your documented skills and experience (and any other prior learning you can verify) satisfies a desired subject outcome, you will be exempt from that subject.
As a respected and highly experienced Australian RTO, we are experts at assessing the quality of your “proof documents.” So when we determine you’ve met the evidence criteria, it’s unlikely you’ll have any issue getting certified. Unfortunately, especially for students applying for RPL Certificates from overseas, there are Australian RPL providers who lack the experience needed to assess your documents. Which Australian RPL Provider you choose will make all the difference. (Learn More About Us Here)
Advanced Standing, Academic Credits or Credited Subjects are all terms used to describe RPL at Australian universities. Unlike RPL through an Australian RTO, these generally relate to former study, rather than former experience. By solidifying your experience into RPL qualifications, you may then be able to apply for Advanced Standing on those qualifications. Always check with the tertiary institution first as rules may differ depending on the course and institution you choose.
RPL eligibility is assessed BEFORE you start your studies. If you can provide the evidence required (you will have adequate time to gather this evidence), your RPL application will not be rejected.
Skills Recognition International will assess all of your documentation in accordance with the Australian Qualification Framework. Once this is approved and you complete any subjects not covered by RPL, we’ll issue you with your qualification.
You will not receive a “Certificate of RPL” – RPL itself is not a formal qualification. You’ll undertake an accredited Australian course of study. Once you complete any subjects that you don’t have recognition of prior learning for, you will receive the accredited qualification for that course. RPL itself is not a course, it is a way to short-cut your study time and still receive a qualification.
If you complete your RPL assessment and approval process through a reputable RTO like Skills Recognition International, your RPL is legally recognised in Australia. Choosing a reputable and registered RTO is vital to gain and maintain your legal RPL approved certificate.
