Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for current Traffic Management Workers

Star Training and Assessing recognises that there are Temporary Traffic Management Workers who have worked for many years in the industry and therefore can demonstrate competence under the new AustRoads National Training Framework without the need to fulfill the full training requirements that a new entrant into the industry is required to fulfill.

Star Training and Assessing offers a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process for Temporary Traffic Management Workers who can demonstrate extensive and recent working experience in Traffic Management.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) means an assessment process that assesses the competency/s of an individual that may have been acquired through formal, non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual meets the requirements specified in the training package or VET accredited courses.

An RPL should not be viewed as the easier way to gain accreditation. The applicant will be required to collect and provide the RTO with current and extensive evidence working in the Traffic Management Industry, including completing a Written Assessment, answering challenge questions by your Assessor and completing any gap performance evidence training and assessment in order for an RPL to be granted.

Please ensure you click and read all the information in the Pre-requisites/Entry Requirements Tab to consider if you are appropriate to complete an RPL.
