About this webinar
Unlock the potential of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to enhance your RTO’s compliance, efficiency, and learner success.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a pivotal process in Australia’s VET system, allowing learners to leverage their existing skills and knowledge to achieve qualifications without undergoing unnecessary training, yet one that causes students a great deal of stress, and seems to take trainers, assessors and managers out of their comfort zone.
With the introduction of the Standards for RTOs 2025, particularly Standard 1.6, which emphasises the need for fair, consistent, and transparent RPL processes, this webinar offers practical strategies to enhance your RPL practices. Gain insights into designing and delivering RPL assessments that are valid, reliable, and flexible, while ensuring full compliance with the principles of assessment and the rules of evidence.

Nicole Maloni
- Melbourne Institute of Massage TherapyJavier is an excellent presenter who knows his subject matter and how to present it so that everyone can understand. Because this particular topic is complex additional time was required. Javier did something that does not happen very often - he asked if participants could stay on longer and he didn't rush through the final points of the session. I have found that every interaction with Insources has been professional, informative and completely relevant to my work. Thank you
