Turn years of hands-on senior accounting experience into the FNS60222 Advanced Diploma of Accounting, a nationally recognised qualification for individuals working in accounting and seeking professional recognition, including tax agents and accounts managers. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows your experience applying theoretical and technical skills with autonomy, and planning, coordinating and evaluating the work of others, 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 Advanced Diploma as anyone who completed the qualification through classroom-based study. This qualification includes units that comprise an approved Tax Practitioner Board (TPB) course in Australian taxation and commercial law.

Yes, if you've got solid experience in accounting work, RPL lets an RTO formally assess that experience against the Advanced Diploma rather than requiring you to complete the course from scratch. It remains a genuine, formal assessment process built around real evidence of your skills.
You'll need to show a solid body of work, such as financial reports, reconciliations or budgets you've prepared, activity statements you've lodged, and payroll or accounts records you've managed, that together demonstrate your skills across the units in the Advanced Diploma. The exact mix depends on your role, but the evidence needs to be current and clearly linked to what you actually did.
No, it's the exact same AQF-registered Advanced Diploma of Accounting, issued by an ASQA-registered RTO, whichever pathway you take. RPL is a different route to the same qualification, not a lesser or different certificate.
It supports roles like Assistant Accountant, covering fixed asset accounting, cash management and tax work, and Accounting Manager roles where you manage financial services within an organisation and ensure compliance. It's suited to people already carrying that level of responsibility who want it formally recognised.
