What Is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) offers several benefits and differs in key ways from traditional institutional or university education:
Time and Cost Efficiency
RPL can significantly reduce the time and cost of obtaining a qualification because it eliminates the need to undergo training for skills you already possess.
Career Advancement
By converting your existing skills and experience into formal qualifications, RPL can open up new career opportunities and potentially lead to higher earning potential.
Validation of Skills
RPL provides formal recognition of your skills and knowledge, validating your practical experience in a formal and respected manner.
Bridging Gaps in Qualifications
RPL can identify areas where you might need further learning, offering a more targeted and efficient path to completing your qualifications.

Differences from Traditional Education
There are a few things that separate RPL from traditional learning in educational organisations. Here are the main differences between the two:
Focus on Experience
Unlike traditional education, which typically involves studying a set curriculum, RPL assesses your existing skills and knowledge, regardless of how they were acquired.
Customisation
RPL is highly personalised, focusing on the individual’s unique learning journey and experiences, whereas institutional education follows a more standardised approach.
Speed of Qualification
RPL can fast-track the process of obtaining a qualification, as it bypasses the need for redundant training in areas where you already have expertise.
