What Is RPL for Advanced Diploma of Network Security?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment pathway that considers whether your existing skills, knowledge and workplace experience align with the units of competency in a nationally recognised qualification.

Short answer: ICT60215 RPL considers whether advanced network security experience and evidence align with the historical Advanced Diploma of Network Security requirements. Because ICT60215 is superseded, a partner RTO must confirm the appropriate current assessment pathway.
Compliance note: Right Pathway is not a Registered Training Organisation. We provide evidence preparation, facilitation and pathway support only. Formal competency assessment and qualification issuance are completed by the partner RTO.
Qualification status: ICT60215 Advanced Diploma of Network Security is superseded. It was superseded by ICT60120 Advanced Diploma of Information Technology, which was later superseded by ICT60220 Advanced Diploma of Information Technology. Applicants should confirm the current qualification pathway before proceeding.

The qualification was designed for individuals who plan, design, manage and monitor enterprise ICT networks and advanced network security systems. Its technical scope included network security, encryption, secure server environments, security architecture, wireless networks, infrastructure and sustainability.
