How It Works

The Navigator's Path to IT Recognition

A step-by-step pathway to formal recognition of your technical experience.

Collect Your Evidence

Using your personalised checklist, gather evidence that demonstrates your skills and experience. This may include employment records, certificates, photos, videos, or supervisor references. Your Navigator will guide you every step of the way.
01

Receive Your Enrolment & RPL Docs

We’ll send your Enrolment Form and LLN Assessment to complete first. Following that, you’ll receive your Self-Assessment Form and Third-Party Verification Form to work through carefully before moving to the next step.
02

Submit Your Completed Forms

Complete and sign all required forms, then return them along with your full evidence portfolio. Ensure every section is filled in, all signatures are included, and all supporting documents are attached before submitting.
03

Assessment and Competency Review

Your RTO Assessor will review and map your evidence against the required unit competencies. Where further clarification is needed, a competency conversation will be conducted to confirm your knowledge and skills.
04

Outcome Issued

Once assessed as competent across all required units, the RTO will formally issue your certificate or Statement of Attainment. Your real-world experience is now officially recognised as a nationally accredited qualification.
05

FAQ

The Answers You Need Before You Start Your ICT Recognition
I'm largely self-taught in IT with no formal qualification. Can RPL still recognise that?

Yes. What matters is being able to demonstrate the required technical and project competencies through real work evidence, not how you originally learned the skills — this can be assessed against ICT60220 Advanced Diploma of Information Technology.

Do vendor certifications like Microsoft, Cisco, or AWS count as evidence on their own?+

They help, but not on their own. Current vendor certifications are strong supporting evidence alongside project documentation and workplace references that show how you've applied those skills.

I've worked across networking, support, and project coordination rather than one specialisation. Does that count against me?+

It doesn't disqualify you. Your Navigator maps your combined experience across specialisations against the relevant units, rather than requiring depth in just one area.

Does contract or freelance IT work count the same as being a full-time employee?+

Yes. What matters is being able to evidence the technical work itself — project documentation, client references, and records of the systems you've managed — regardless of your employment structure.
