UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS

RPL vs Gap Training - What’s the Difference?

The right pathway depends on your experience and the evidence you can provide. We’ll help you choose the most suitable option and explain what’s required.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Best for experienced workers who can demonstrate competence through evidence and practical requirements. You’ll be guided on what to provide and how it maps to the units.

  • Use existing work experience as the foundation
  • Evidence-based assessment with clear guidance
  • Focused on job-ready competence, not theory overload

Gap Training

Best if you have experience but need to strengthen specific areas. We’ll identify gaps and support you through targeted training and assessment.

  • Targeted training for missing skills or evidence
  • Structured plan so you know what to do next
  • Support and feedback until you meet the standard
WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Evidence, Explained Clearly

Every course and pathway has specific requirements. We’ll tell you what’s suitable and how to present it. Below are common examples, you don’t need everything on day one.

  • Photos or videos of completed work
  • Work documents (job sheets, checklists, sign-offs)
  • Supervisor or employer references
  • Licences, tickets, short course certificates
  • Toolbox talks, safety documentation, site records
We’ll help you understand what’s relevant to your units and what quality “good evidence” looks like.
