Get recognised for the project management skills you already use on the job every day. The BSB40920 Certificate IV in Project Management Practice formally recognises individuals who apply project management skills and knowledge across scope, time and quality management in a wide variety of contexts, supporting project teams and wider project operations without direct responsibility for overall outcomes. If you already coordinate project tasks, manage schedules or help keep project work on track, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) may be a pathway to consider. ATSR guides help you understand the process and prepare evidence of your experience for the Certificate IV in Project Management Practice. If you’re searching for a cert 4 project management qualification, this may be relevant to the work you already do.
A partner Registered Training Organisation (RTO) assesses your evidence against the qualification requirements. If you meet those requirements, the RTO issues the qualification. ATSR supports you through the RPL process but does not carry out the formal assessment or issue qualifications.

If the RTO finds your application ineligible after portfolio submission, you may be entitled to a refund of fees paid to ATSR, in accordance with our and the RTO's refund policy.
There's no fixed number of years — what counts is being able to show real evidence that you've done the work, such as project plans, schedules, reports or scope documents you've authored, plus supervisor or client testimonials confirming your role. Meeting minutes and other project records can also help build the picture assessors need to match your experience against each unit.
Yes. If a partner RTO assesses your skills and confirms that you meet the requirements, it issues the same nationally recognised Certificate IV in Project Management Practice. RPL is a different way to have your existing skills assessed, not a separate qualification. ATSR provides guidance and support throughout the process but does not issue the certificate.
This qualification supports roles such as Contracts Officer, Project Administrator and Quality Officer, where you're managing contracts, coordinating project documentation or supporting compliance across a project. It's formal backing for people already doing this kind of work on projects without a recognised qualification behind them.
Evidence may include project plans, schedules, meeting minutes, reports, scope documents and records showing your role in coordinating project work. Supervisor or client feedback may also help explain your responsibilities. ATSR can guide you on preparing relevant evidence, and a partner RTO assesses it against the qualification requirements.
Have you been coordinating project tasks, preparing reports, or keeping schedules on track? Your work experience may be relevant to the Certificate IV in Project Management Practice. ATSR can help you understand the RPL process and prepare evidence of the project work you've done.
