Why study something again if you already have the skills and knowledge? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is about helping you get
your qualification faster and getting you to where you want to be!
Working with one of our RPL assessors we’ll review your life and work experiences as well as any previous study you may have done to
confirm just what we can match up with your current course of study.
Note: Some short, licensing or compliance courses, eg Food Safety for Supervisors or First Aid are not granted RPL as demonstrated
competency is required by regulatory authorities.
Find out more about RPL at North Coast TAFE
