What is RPL?
RPL is an assessment process that recognises your prior studies and industry experience to determine if they meet the requirements of a qualification. When you submit an expression of interest for RPL, you may be awarded a ‘credit’ for previous study that may result in a reduction of the amount of units required to complete your qualification.
