  • Assessment by an RTO
    A partner Registered Training Organisation assesses your evidence against the relevant qualification.

  • Receive Your Certificate
    Once deemed competent, you’ll receive a nationally recognised qualification.

No study is required if your evidence meets the national competency requirements.

Your qualification will be issued by a government-approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO) under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

Yes. Many clients use RPL qualifications for TRA, VETASSESS, and other skills assessments. We can refer you to a MARA agent if needed.

The cost of a nationally recognised qualification achieved through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) depends on the type of qualification you’re seeking and your preferred payment method.

The total price is generally determined by:

  • The level of the qualification (e.g. Certificate II to Graduate Diploma)

  • The complexity of the evidence assessment

  • The requirements of the issuing RTO

✅ Your initial skills assessment is free—you only pay once your eligibility is confirmed and you choose to proceed.

We do not provide migration advice unless through a registered MARA agent.
