FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does the RPL Assessment process take ?
Once the application for RPL has been completed and submitted, and all evidence has been received and assessed, the Qualification is generally issued within 7 days. Full payment must be received before the Qualification is generated.

What if I can't access some of the Evidence ?
Our experienced Assessors have come across this many times, and will conduct a holistic assessment with you in areas where there may be gaps. This will eliminate the need to provide evidence which may be sensitive in nature, and can be conducted through a verbal interview process.
How do I send my Evidence ?
We set up dropbox access for you so that all your Evidence can be stored and accessed electronically. Once the RPL is completed, the evidence is electronically locked and only accessed for audit purposes.
Do I have to have a Face 2 Face meeting with an Assessor ?
All our work can be done via email, phone and skype. This allows 1300 RPL NOW the flexibility of being able to work with Clients all over Australia.
Is this a difficult process ?
RPL is not difficult with us. It is a flexible assessment process which can vary from one applicant to another – even when addressing the same qualification. Typically, the process involves some kind of assessment of your existing skills and knowledge to determine the competencies you have. The assessment is aligned with relevant types of supporting evidence, but is not necessarily dependent upon any one type of evidence; instead the complete set of evidence is viewed holistically. 1300 RPL NOW are specialists at this.
What are Nationally Recognised Training Qualifications ?
Nationally recognised training qualifications are courses that are accredited under the Australian Quality Training Framework ( AQTF ).
Only registered training organisations (RTO) can issue nationally recognised qualifications.
This means students have the confidence that they will attain skills of a high quality accepted and recognised everywhere in Australia, not just the state or territory in which the study was conducted.
A VET accredited course has been assessed by ASQA as compliant with the Standards for VET Accredited Courses 2015 and the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
Accreditation is formal confirmation that the course:
* is nationally recognised
* meets an established industry, enterprise, educational, legislative or community need
* provides appropriate competency outcomes and a satisfactory basis for assessment
* meets national quality assurance requirements
* is aligned appropriately to the AQF where it leads to a qualification.
