What is RPL and why book online? #
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment pathway that evaluates your existing skills and experience against formal competency standards. By booking online, you can secure a time with an assessor faster, upload documents securely, and access support from anywhere—mobile, tablet, or desktop.
What to prepare before booking #
- Identification: passport or driver licence.
- Work history: updated CV, position descriptions, employment contracts.
- Evidence portfolio: work samples, photos/videos of tasks, logbooks, training records, statements of attainment, licences, or permits.
- Referees: supervisors or clients who can verify your skills.
- Your goal: the qualification or skill set you’re targeting (e.g., a trade, community services, business, or construction qualification).
Not sure which qualification fits your experience? Our team can advise during your appointment. See the regulator’s overview of RPL here: ASQA: Recognition of Prior Learning.
Detailed booking walkthrough #
1) Confirm your eligibility #
RPL suits experienced workers with evidence that maps to units of competency. If you have at least 1–2 years of relevant, recent experience (paid or unpaid), RPL may be suitable.
2) Gather and organise your evidence #
Collect your documents into clearly named folders (e.g., “CV”, “Work Samples”, “References”). You can upload a subset at booking and bring the rest later.
3) Choose the qualification or industry #
Identify the qualification you want assessed against. If unsure, select your industry on the online form and request a pre-assessment call to confirm fit.
4) Start the online booking #
Go to skillscampus.com.au. Open the online booking form from the main menu or homepage. Enter your contact details, location (state/territory), and preferred communication method (phone, video, or in person if available).
5) Select a date and time #
Choose a slot that suits your time zone. You’ll receive a calendar invite once confirmed. If your preferred time isn’t listed, add a note in the form and our team will propose alternatives.
6) Provide notes and upload initial documents #
Briefly describe your experience and the roles you’ve held. Upload any readily available evidence (you can submit more later through our secure portal or email).
7) Submit and check your email #
Once submitted, you’ll get an on-screen confirmation and an email with appointment details, meeting links, and a checklist to finalise your portfolio. If anything is missing, we’ll contact you to help close the gaps.
After you book: what happens next #
- Pre-assessment review: An assessor reviews your evidence and confirms the appointment agenda.
- Assessment conversation: You discuss your experience, demonstrate competence (where applicable), and map evidence to units of competency.
- Gap training (if needed): If some competencies are not fully met, we outline targeted gap training options.
- Outcome and issuance: When competencies are met through valid evidence, a nationally recognised outcome can be issued by the partner RTO.
Fees, processing times, and refunds #
Fees depend on the qualification and evidence complexity. You’ll receive a schedule before you commit. Many assessments are completed within a few weeks after full evidence submission, though timelines vary with qualification scope and responsiveness.
To discuss fees and timelines, contact us at skillscampus.com.au/contact.
Tips to speed up your RPL booking and assessment #
- Be specific in your booking notes (key tasks, equipment, standards followed).
- Upload the most persuasive evidence first: signed references, logs, project outputs, photos/video proof.
- Bring referee contact details who can verify your work quickly.
- Keep files under common formats (PDF, DOCX, JPG, MP4) and clearly named.
- Use your phone to scan documents if needed; our process is mobile-friendly.
