RPL Questions

How much does an RPL certificate cost?

RPL costs depend on the level of the qualification you’re after. The lower-level qualifications cost less, while the more advanced certifications are more valuable. For example, a Certificate III costs around $1,095 with RPL, while a Graduate Diploma can cost up to $3,600 with RPL. Payment plans are available, and there are no hidden charges.

With Churchill Education, the RPL process takes up to 14 days. That’s right, you’ll get your new qualification within 14 days of enrolment and payment, or within 7 days through our VIP Priority Fast-Track Service.

Yes, you can secure a qualification through RPL while working full-time, as this assessment process requires no further study. Instead, it recognises the skills and knowledge you’ve already developed through your career, which means you won’t have to study what you already know.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that turns your existing work experience and skills into nationally recognised qualifications. Your experience is compared against the qualification requirements, and if they match, you’re awarded the credentials without completing any further study or sitting exams.

It’s free and easy to know if you qualify for an RPL certificate with Churchill. Just complete a free qualification appraisal, and we’ll review your experience and tell you which qualifications you are eligible for, at no cost.
