CAQA RPL is recognition of prior learning software for registered training organisations. It brings evidence guidance, unit-by-unit review, competency conversations and assessor decisions into one workspace for your RPL team.
Your RTO runs the RPL: your assessors decide, within your own scope of registration.
Your assessors review evidence and make every decision, under your policies and procedures, for training products on your own scope of registration.
Evidence guidance, the recognition workspace, records connected to CAQA SMS and LMS, and support for your team.
CAQA does not assess RPL applications or issue qualifications through CAQA RPL. Candidates apply to, and receive outcomes from, their training provider.
RPL assesses skills gained through work, previous learning and life. Your training provider’s assessor reviews the evidence and decides.
Know what to share and explain what you did: role, work context, dates and how to verify it.
Evidence, unit mappings, assessor allocation and due dates for each application in one view.
Competency conversations, gap training, the rules of evidence and documented reasons.
Written outcome advice and approved results recorded against existing subject enrolments.
The candidate and the training provider discuss the qualification or units, work history, suitability and any support or adjustment needs.
Gather work samples, records and supporting statements. Explain your own contribution and protect other people’s information.
The assessor reviews evidence, holds competency conversations and arranges further evidence or assessment when needed.
The training provider gives written advice and reasons, gap training and its own review and appeal pathway.

CAQA RPL is being developed in stages. The workspace supports structured evidence preparation, private document uploads and assessor-confirmed unit requirement mappings. Model-assisted prompts and automatic mapping remain in development, and assessors retain every competency decision. Each training provider remains responsible for its RPL process and outcomes.
No. CAQA RPL is software used by registered training organisations. The training provider you applied to conducts the assessment and issues any outcome, for training products on its own scope of registration. Contact that provider about your application.
RPL is assessment of your existing skills and knowledge against a training product. Experience alone does not guarantee recognition: evidence must demonstrate the required competence.
Staff sign in with their existing RTO OS account. Permissions and organisation boundaries apply across the workspace. Candidates use their authorised learner portal identity.
No. Evidence prompts help preparation. Only an authorised assessor makes and records the assessment decision. The current guide uses structured prompts and does not send information to a model service.
Your training provider’s assessor can identify further assessment or gap training. Written advice explains the reasons and the provider’s review and appeal process.
For registered training organisations: talk with CAQA about using CAQA RPL for your RPL process, evidence, assessor workflow and implementation.
