What does Right Pathway do?

Right Pathway helps experienced individuals convert prior learning and work experience into nationally recognised Australian qualifications through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

How long does the RPL process usually take?

Timeframes vary by qualification and evidence readiness; many applicants complete their RPL process in 2–8 weeks after submitting quality evidence.

Is an RPL-obtained qualification the same as one earned through study?

Yes. A qualification gained via RPL is nationally recognised and identical to one achieved through traditional study pathways.

What evidence is required for RPL?

Evidence may include résumés, position descriptions, work samples, photos, videos, third‑party reports, references, prior certificates, and performance reviews.

Will I need gap training?

Only if parts of competency standards are not covered by existing evidence. Any training is targeted to those specific gaps.

What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that evaluates your existing skills, knowledge, and experience gained through work, training, or life experiences and converts them into nationally recognised qualifications. It allows you to receive formal certification without having to study what you already know, saving you time and money.

Who can apply for RPL through Right Pathway?

Anyone with relevant experience in their industry can apply for RPL through Right Pathway. This includes both Australian professionals and international students or migrants with overseas qualifications or work experience. Eligibility typically depends on having sufficient years of experience in your field and being able to provide evidence of your skills and knowledge.

What are the main benefits of obtaining an RPL qualification?

The key benefits of RPL include: 1) Saving time and money by avoiding unnecessary coursework, 2) Fast-tracking your qualification process, often in just a few weeks, 3) Supporting PR visa applications and skills assessments for migration, 4) Improving sponsorship eligibility, 5) Getting overseas experience recognised with Australian-accredited certifications, 6) Enhancing career advancement opportunities and employability, 7) Accessing pathways to further education, and 8) Skipping repetitive learning of skills you already possess.

How does the RPL process work at Right Pathway?

The RPL process at Right Pathway involves four main steps: 1) Free Skills Check - An initial consultation to assess your goals and identify suitable qualifications, 2) Collect Evidence - Gathering documentation such as resumes, job descriptions, performance reviews, work samples, previous certificates, and visual evidence of your skills, 3) Assessment & Feedback - Evaluation of your evidence portfolio by partner RTOs with potential follow-up if additional evidence is needed, 4) Receive Your National Qualification - Issuance of nationally recognised qualifications equivalent to those obtained through full-time study.

What types of evidence are required for an RPL application?

Evidence required for an RPL application typically includes: Professional resumes and job descriptions, performance reviews and workplace references, work samples and portfolios, previous certificates and training documents, and visual evidence (photos/videos) demonstrating your skills. Right Pathway provides guidance on gathering and presenting your documentation effectively throughout the process.

Is Right Pathway a Registered Training Organisation (RTO)?

Their role is to provide expert guidance, support with evidence collection, and facilitate the assessment process with their RTO partners who issue the nationally recognised qualifications.

How long does the RPL process take?
