Course Entry Requirements

RPL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

There are no formal entry requirements for recognition of prior learning (RPL), however, applicants must be able to demonstrate relevant skills, knowledge and experience aligned to the qualification they are seeking.

RPL through Westbourne College is suited to individuals with extensive industry experience, typically those who have worked in sectors such as law enforcement, defence, emergency services, health, and all levels of government. We specialise in recognising real-world expertise and translating it into nationally recognised qualifications.

Applicants must be able to provide valid, sufficient and authentic evidence of their competencies. This may include workplace documents, references, position descriptions, performance reviews, service records, or other evidence demonstrating their capability

Duration and Structure

The RPL process at Westbourne College is designed to be straightforward and supportive, while ensuring compliance with national standards for competency-based assessment.

  1. Free Online RPL Assessment – Start by completing our free, no-obligation online assessment to help determine your eligibility for RPL. This helps us understand your background, experience and the qualification you’re seeking. Turnaround time: Our team will review your assessment within 7 business days.

  2. Trainer/Assessor Review – One of our qualified trainers/assessors will review your submission and confirm whether RPL is a suitable pathway for you. If eligible, you’ll be invited to formally enrol and begin compiling your evidence.

  3. Evidence Submission & Assessment – You will then provide supporting evidence to demonstrate your competency in each unit of the qualification. This may include work samples, service records, position descriptions, photos/videos, third-party reports, and more.

  4. Assessment & Competency Verification – Once your evidence has been submitted, a trainer/assessor will complete a full RPL assessment within 15 business days. This may include:
    -A competency conversation or interview to verify your experience
    -Practical tasks or scenario discussions (if evidence gaps are identified)
    -Requests for additional documents or clarification, if needed.

  5. Issuance of Qualification – If you are assessed as competent in all required units, your nationally recognised qualification will be issued shortly after the assessment is finalised.
