Applying for RPL
Step 1
Contact our RPL Coordinator at sbit.rplcoordinator@southbank.edu.au to arrange an interview with an RPL Assessor or Teacher experienced in your industry.
Step 2
Meet with the RPL Assessor or Teacher to discuss your skills and experience and work out a training plan that will assist you in gaining your qualification.
Consider what evidence you already have that demonstrates your skills and knowledge. You must be able to show your skills are current and meet industry standards. Examples of evidence could include:
- work samples
- practical demonstrations in the workplace
- assessment interviews

- a variety of materials including training certificates, photos of work examples, a resume, performance reviews
Step 3
Enrol in the relevant units.
Step 4
Submit your RPL application form (Word document, 430kb) to the Faculty Administration along with any documentation your assessor has advised that you need. The RPL student information guide (PDF, 65kb) may assist you in completing the application.
Step 5
Wait for the decision to me made by the RPL Assessor.
Step 6
If successful, you will be issued with the same credential as if you had undertaken the full unit of competency as an enrolled student.
