RPL the VETASSESS way
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a powerful tool for businesses to uncover valuable skills and experience within their workforce. By assessing the skills employees have gained through both formal and informal learning, as well as work experience, RPL enables businesses to address skills shortages and streamline workforce planning.
The VETASSESS RPL service is specifically tailored for businesses, providing a fully online solution that offers flexibility and convenience. Employees can complete their RPL requirements at their own pace, without needing to leave the workplace. This minimises disruption to business operations while allowing your team to efficiently gain the recognition they deserve.
Outsourcing RPL to VETASSESS alleviates administrative burden and reduces costs associated with managing internal assessments. It also ensures that trainers can focus on supporting learners with a streamlined, user-friendly process, all at a fixed cost. As an Australian Government-accredited Registered Training Organisation (RTO No. 21097) with over 25 years of experience, VETASSESS is a trusted partner for businesses looking for customised assessment solutions, including RPL.

How RPL works
The RPL assessment process has three stages:
- Confirmation of Experience
- Demonstration of Knowledge
- Demonstration of Skills
Our RPL assessors are industry experts. They are qualified and have worked in the industries they assess, and they have gained additional qualifications in conducting assessments.

Future RPL Process – coming soon
Currently, VETASSESS offers Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) services exclusively for businesses. However, VETASSESS is in the process of developing an innovative online RPL tool and process that will cater to both individuals and businesses. This new system is designed to streamline the recognition of prior learning, making the process more efficient and accessible.
The new RPL process will enable the mapping of evidence to specific units of competency and qualifications within the Nationally Recognised Training (NRT) system.
This will be fully aligned with the RPL framework, providing better support to individuals who are seeking qualifications within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The goal is to simplify the recognition process, ensuring that individuals can more easily demonstrate their prior learning and gain the qualifications they deserve.
