RPL in resources and infrastructure
16 qualifications, 7 ready today, and what assessors in this industry actually accept as evidence.
Resources and infrastructure accounts for 16 nationally recognised qualifications on the register. 7 of them have a guide built and ready to start today; the rest we will build on request. Recognition of Prior Learning assesses any of them on evidence of work you have already done, rather than on training you sit through.
What evidence looks like in resources and infrastructure
The strongest evidence in this industry is usually already held by your employer. Site inductions, verification-of-competency records, plant operation logs, pre-starts and permit records are dated, specific and independently kept — ask for copies before you leave a site, because they are hard to get afterwards.
Two things a qualification is not: a high-risk work licence, which the regulator issues, and a site VOC, which is that operator's assessment of you on their equipment. Both matter, neither is replaced by RPL, and anyone implying otherwise is selling.
