Yes, your existing experience working with children in care or education settings can be formally assessed against the CHC30125 units by the partner RTO through RPL. You still need to provide evidence and go through a genuine assessment process to demonstrate that experience meets the required standard.
Useful evidence includes daily program and curriculum plans showing how you've applied an approved learning framework, along with observation and assessment records used to track children's development. This kind of documented, day-to-day evidence is what assessors use to match your experience against each unit.
Yes, it's the identical AQF-registered CHC30125 qualification, issued by an ASQA-registered RTO whichever pathway you take to earn it. RPL leads to the same nationally recognised credential, not a different or lesser one.
