We start with RPL to assess your existing trade skills and experience towards a recognised qualification. If there are any gaps, we help you complete them through gap training. Once you’ve met the qualification requirements, we guide you through the next steps towards getting your trade licence.
A clear step-by-step pathway from RPL to gap training to licensing.
Tell us about your trade and experience. We’ll help identify whether RPL, gap training or another qualification pathway may suit you.
Your experience is unique, so your pathway should be too. We help you understand whether RPL may apply, what evidence is required, whether separate gap training is needed, and what comes next toward qualification and licensing.
Tell us about your trade, experience, work history and the qualification you are interested in. We use this information to understand whether RPL may suit your existing competency and what pathway is worth exploring.
We help you understand the evidence that may support your existing trade competency. This can include employer references, work photos, videos, job records, previous certificates, project documents and other relevant evidence.
Existing competency can be assessed through Recognition of Prior Learning. If competencies are still missing, gap training is a separate process used to develop and assess the specific skills or knowledge you still need.
Once the relevant qualification requirements are met, we help you understand the licensing pathway that may apply to your trade and state — including regulators, documentation, experience requirements and possible next steps.
Tell us about your trade and experience. We’ll help identify whether RPL, gap training or another qualification pathway may suit you.
Choose the trade or qualification that matches where you want to go next. We can help you understand whether your pathway involves Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), gap training, or standard course delivery — plus licensing support where relevant.

Some tradies suit RPL immediately. Others need targeted gap training. We help you understand the difference — and what to do next.
Assess existing competency against qualification requirements.
Build and assess only the competencies you still need.
Understand the regulator, documents and next steps.
We help experienced workers separate three different things: RPL for competency you already have, gap training for competency you still need, and licensing support for understanding what comes next after qualification requirements are met.
An assessment-only pathway for existing competency. Your workplace evidence and demonstrated skills are assessed against the relevant units of competency.
A separate training pathway for competencies you still need to develop. Training and assessment focus on the specific requirements not yet met.
We help you understand how your qualification relates to the relevant state licensing pathway, including the regulator and any additional experience, assessment or documentation requirements.
Tell us about your trade and experience. We’ll help identify whether RPL, gap training or another qualification pathway may suit you.
Tell us about your experience and get clarity on whether RPL may suit you, whether separate gap
training may be required, and what licensing support may apply next.
Understand what Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), gap training and licensing support mean, when each pathway may apply, and how they can fit into your Australian trade qualification journey.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process used to recognise skills and knowledge you have already gained through work, previous training and other relevant experience. Your competency is assessed against the requirements of the relevant Australian qualification.
No. RPL assesses competency you already have. Gap training is separate training and assessment for competencies you still need to develop. Depending on your skills and evidence, your pathway may involve RPL, gap training or a combination of both.
If your RPL assessment identifies competencies that have not yet been demonstrated, those gaps may need to be addressed separately. Targeted gap training can be used to develop and assess the specific skills or knowledge still required.
Relevant overseas trade experience may be considered through RPL where your skills can be supported by suitable evidence and assessed against the requirements of the Australian qualification.
RPL evidence can include employer references, work photos, videos, job records, resumes, previous qualifications, certificates, project documentation and other evidence that demonstrates your current trade competency.
We help you understand how your qualification may fit into the relevant state or territory licensing pathway, including the regulator, documentation and any additional experience or assessment requirements. Completing a qualification does not automatically guarantee a trade licence.
