Recognition of Prior Learning

DELTRA Australia offers a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process for those students who believe that they can provide evidence to demonstrate competence in a qualification, or individual competency units within a qualification.

Our RPL procedure is a follows:

  1. Information is provided to students regarding course outline, content, assessment requirements and RPL policy via DELTRA Australia's website.
  2. Application for RPL is made by the student using the online Recognition of Prior Learning Application Form and paying the RPL Initial Application Fee.
  3. Initial support and counselling is provided to individual students on receipt of the RPL Application Form as to whether or not they may be eligible for RPL.
  4. If the student is eligible for RPL assessment, sufficient evidence is collected by the student and submitted to DELTRA Australia for consideration. Evidence may include documents such as a resumé, certified copies of academic records, course outlines, competency reports, employer statements, work samples, certified copies of current accreditation/licences/registration etc.
  5. Verification will be conducted by DELTRA Australia to ensure that the documentation submitted is authentic. This includes contacting Referees and organisations which have issued the student's qualifications.
  6. Individual student interviews may be conducted to obtain additional information. Interviews may be conducted in person or via telephone.
  7. Assessment of prior learning is conducted using the most appropriate assessment strategy.
  8. Post-assessment guidance is provided to the student, including advice on steps required to attain RPL, or further gap training to be conducted in order to meet the required competencies.
  9. Written notice of the outcome decision will be forwarded to the student within 28 days of completion of the RPL process.
  10. Certification upon the attainment of the required competencies.
