The RPL process consists of three main stages:

Consultation phase: Individuals undergo a consultation process to assess their existing skills and knowledge against competency standards. Guidance is provided to help them prepare for qualification at the relevant level.

Assessment phase: Qualified applicants proceed to a skill test, which is conducted at designated centers. Successful completion of the skill test leads to certification at the appropriate level.

Post-assessment phase: Certificates are awarded based on successful performance in the skill test. In cases where proficiency is not achieved at a specific level, certificates may be issued for successful units.

A generic flowchart for each stage has been developed to provide an easy way to understand the steps. There are explanatory notes that follow the flowcharts.
