Yes, people already working in automotive leadership and management roles can apply for AUR50116 through RPL, where a partner RTO formally assesses their experience against the qualification. You still go through a genuine assessment of your evidence before the diploma is issued.
You need records of the management work you have done, such as budgets or financial reports, staff performance reviews, business improvement plans and records of resolving complex customer issues. Workplace health and safety and sustainability records from your area also support your application.
Yes, it is the same AQF-registered diploma, issued by the ASQA-registered RTO that assesses your evidence. RPL is a different pathway to the identical qualification, and ATSR guides you through the process while the partner RTO assesses and issues it.
It supports senior roles such as Automotive Workshop Manager, Automotive Services/Repair Manager and Dealer Principal across all sectors of the automotive industry. It recognises the leadership and business skills needed to run automotive teams and operations.
Turn years of real automotive leadership experience into a nationally recognised diploma qualification.
