Already working in graphic media or multimedia technology? Right Pathway helps eligible digital media designers prepare evidence and explore the appropriate current RPL pathway with a partner RTO.
What Is RPL for Diploma of Digital Media Technologies?
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 or a current replacement pathway.
