What evidence do RTOs usually accept?
Genuine RPL is assessed on real evidence. Every RTO sets its own requirements, but these are the kinds of things assessors commonly look for. You don’t need all of it to start — we’ll help you work out what you have.
- Proof of work historyPayslips, employment contracts, letters from employers, an ABN and invoices if you’ve worked for yourself, or a detailed resume.
- References and verificationStatements or referee reports from employers, supervisors or clients who can confirm the work you’ve done.
- Samples of your workPhotos or videos of completed jobs, project lists, plans you’ve worked from, or examples of what you’ve produced.
- Tickets, licences and short coursesAny cards, tickets, white cards, licences or short-course certificates you already hold.
- A practical demonstrationMost RPL also involves showing your skills directly — a practical task or a competency conversation with a qualified assessor.
