Turn years of hands-on financial services experience into the FNS51822 Diploma of Financial Services, a nationally recognised qualification providing a general purpose pathway into the financial services industry. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows your experience applying solutions to complex financial services problems and providing guidance to others or teams to be formally assessed against this qualification rather than starting your learning over. Once your evidence is assessed and confirmed by our partner RTO, you hold the same AQF-recognised Diploma as anyone who completed the qualification through classroom-based study.

Yes, it's the identical AQF-registered qualification issued by an ASQA-registered RTO either way. There's no distinction on the certificate between the RPL pathway and full-time study — both lead to the same nationally recognised Diploma.
It supports roles like Customer Service Manager in financial services, where you oversee service and admin teams and develop customer service policy, or Finance Sector Supervisor roles managing financial operations. It's aimed at people already working at a supervisory or management level in financial services who want that experience formally recognised.
