How it works

Five plain English steps.
You only pay if you pass.

PriorLeap walks you through the recognition of prior learning process in your own time. No paperwork in the post. No long phone interviews. The whole journey is free until the very last step, where you decide whether to unlock the official outcome letter.

01
Pick your qualification
Start without making an account. Search the list of Australian qualifications (sourced from training.gov.au) and choose the one that best matches what you already do at work. Then tick the units inside it you want to be assessed against.
02
Upload what proves it
For each unit, drop in the documents that show you can already do the job. Certificates, position descriptions, reference letters, photos of work, training records, payslips. The platform stores everything in one place.
03
Send a code to your assessor
When your evidence is ready, the platform gives you a short share code. Send the code (by email, SMS, or printed on a job application) to a qualified assessor you already work with, or any training organisation that has agreed to assess you.
04
Answer any follow up questions
Your assessor reviews everything and may send you a few targeted questions to fill gaps. You answer in writing, in your own time. No live interview, no need to take time off work. Everything is logged for audit.
05
Get your outcome
Once the assessor signs off, you see the result on screen for free. If the result is favourable and you want the official PDF outcome letter (the one you can hand to an employer or a training organisation for credit transfer), you pay $50 and download it on the spot.
Introductory pricing
$50
Introductory · one time, only at the end
You can run the entire process and see your assessor decision without paying anything. The fee only applies when you choose to download the official PDF outcome letter.

Why RPL

Your work history has real value.
Let it count toward a qualification.

Recognition of Prior Learning lets a registered assessor measure what you can already do against the same units of competency taught in a classroom course. If your evidence covers the criteria, you get credit for it.

Skip study you do not need
If you have been doing the work for years, you should not have to sit through a course that teaches you how. RPL assesses you on what you already do and gives credit where it is due.
Aligned with the ASQA standards
PriorLeap follows the assessment principles set out in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations and the relevant ASQA guidance. The assessor you nominate makes the call, the same way they would inside any RTO.
You stay in control
You choose the qualification, the units, and the assessor. You see every decision and every comment. Records are kept private and automatically deleted thirty days after your outcome.
For training organisations

Cut hours of RPL paperwork per file.

Your assessors get every application pre organised, with AI suggested gap questions, an evidence map against unit criteria, and a one click sign off that produces an audit ready record. Less paperwork. More decisions per week.

Use PriorLeap as the front end for your existing RPL workflow. Your RTO remains the issuing authority. We provide the assessment tooling and the student facing experience.

What you get
  • AI evidence mapping against unit performance criteria
  • AI suggested clarifying questions for gap criteria
  • Per unit competent or not yet competent decisions
  • Sign off snapshot that names the assessor on the record
  • Audit log of every assessor action
