Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Overview

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that assesses a participant’s competency, acquired through formal and informal learning, to determine if they meet the requirements for a unit of study.

Guidelines & Limitations

Temporary Traffic Management participants must provide evidence that they have the skills and knowledge required for units listed for each skill set.  The RPL process is a holistic approach; if applicants cannot demonstrate competency in all requirements, they must complete the full course.

Language, Literacy, Numeracy & Digital Skills Requirements

All participants are required to complete a Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital skills (LLND) assessment prior to enrolment.

This assessment is designed to ensure that all participants have the necessary skills to fully engage with the course content and assessment requirements. It is not intended to create barriers, but rather to support participants by identifying any areas where additional assistance may be needed, helping to set everyone up for success.

If you have any concerns regarding literacy or numeracy, our staff can provide guidance and access to support services at no additional cost. Our goal is to ensure that all participants are confident and capable of safely and effectively completing their training.
