Recognising your past learning and work.

What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

As a Registered Training Organisation, AFSI offers Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to students, which recognises your skills and knowledge acquired through work experience. AFSI encourages students to provide evidence for a potential RPL assessment. While not all students may be interested in RPL, AFSI still offers this as an option.

AFSI can grant RPL to students who can demonstrate previously acquired skills, knowledge, and experience. Students need to submit their up-to-date professional CV and any relevant material for assessment. An AFSI facilitator will evaluate the material and may conduct a competency conversation to assess the student’s skills and knowledge against qualification requirements.

If any additional training is needed, AFSI will identify this and work with the student to create a strategy for completion, which may include self-paced online learning, scenario-based projects, and possibly in-person facilitation.

To begin the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process, contact our team at reception@afsi.com.au  Once we have established the best way forward for your specific circumstance, we will ask you to complete an application for your chosen qualification, ensuring that you include all the necessary and pertinent evidence.

The initial RPL Application will be reviewed by one of our experienced assessors, and the AFSI team will contact applicants for further clarification or discussion. At this time, eligibility will be established, and any gap training requirements will be discussed.  

Depending on the level of RPL we can grant, we will discuss options with you, which may include gap training, mentoring, or class enrolment to complete the qualification requirements, and we can offer special rates based on the outcome of the initial assessment.

After evaluation and granting of the eligible RPL units, and any required gap training, a nationally recognised qualification will be awarded, with digital and hard copies available.
