Applying for RPL 

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) identifies and validates the skills you have gained through prior study (including formal, informal, and non-formal learning), previous work experience, or volunteer work. CPT offers candidates the exciting opportunity to apply for RPL.

RPL, is a highly recommended pathway for applicants with extensive industry experience, a current Registration Certificate, and a desire to upgrade to the Full Agent’s Licence. It allows you to leverage your industry experience, even if your qualifications were obtained under a superseded training package. This means you can upgrade your skills without having to start from scratch.

It sounds easy, but for some, gathering additional documented evidence to match the expected elements and performance criteria can sometimes prove harder than attending the required four-day classroom attendance time.

The process starts with an informal phone chat with one of our consultants, who will ask you several questions, including:

1. Do you have experience in both sales and property management?
2. Can you provide documentary evidence of statutory forms for both sales and property management being completed by you?
3. How long have you held your Registration Certificate?
4. Have you attended any professional development recently?

If the Consultant determines that you qualify for RPL, you will then be required to enrol and pay the standard course fee: $990.00 for the Registration Certificate or $1780.00 for the Full Estate Agent Licence.

A formal interview and evidence collection will occur in a fair and transparent manner. Our Consultant will also provide you with the best alternative if you don’t qualify for RPL, ensuring you are treated fairly throughout the process.

The RPL process

Our Consultants will carefully assess your experience, including past qualifications, relevant skills and industry knowledge. Information about your knowledge and expertise will align with the appropriate qualification components. You will receive recognition for the units or modules in which you have demonstrated either competency or similarity of learning outcomes, and you will only need to complete any remaining units to receive the qualification.

You may be eligible for part of a complete qualification through RPL. You can receive recognition towards an entire vocational qualification.

If you feel you have the skills and knowledge to apply for RPL of your Licence or Certificate, call us on 07 54 388 922 or email info@completepropertytraining.com.au

By documenting your skills and knowledge and providing a portfolio of evidence of your experience, you may be able to minimise the time, level of assessment, and costs involved in achieving your Real Estate qualification.
