Recognition of Prior Learning Application Form

BTS/BeTrained supports students in seeking RPL to reduce unnecessary formal training where they can demonstrate competency against the relevant training product.

This form is used when a student wishes to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning. Before completing this form, students must:

• review the BTS Credit Transfer & Recognition of Prior Learning Policy, available on the BTS website.

• review the BTS Schedule of Administrative Fees, available on the BTS website, as an admin fee of $250.00 per unit of competency applies when processing RPL requests.

• ensure they have certified copies of all required documentation (e.g. relevant Qualifications, Academic Transcripts and/ or Statements of Attainment).

• Submit and up-to-date Resume/CV and a current job description for an initial eligibility check.

• confirm that the unit of competency already held is the valid and current version by checking the unit code on the National Register of VET at http://training.gov.au/

If your RPL Application is approved, you will be provided with an RPL Kit through  which you can collect the required evidence and demonstrate your prior learning, knowledge, skills and experience meet the requirements of the Qualification and/or unit/s of competency applied for. Please note that only Australian work experience and Australian qualifications can be considered.
