INITIAL RPL REPORT ($682 incl. GST)
Our RPL Service begins with an initial RPL Report. The report is generated from information on your application form and further information that we may request from you. Unusually complex cases may involve additional fees – we will advise if we think this might be the case. Please note – the initial RPL Report does NOT include training and assessment.
RPL FOR ENGINEERS
Our RPL Team utilises existing experience and qualifications to offer Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) toward the Diploma of Aeroskills. If you are eligible for RPL (according to your report) and you wish to engage us to process your RPL, you will need to enrol in our RTO / MTO and pay any further fees associated with gaining your qualification. The initial RPL Report we send you will include recommendations and a detailed quote based on the most practical and efficient way to help you achieve your objectives.
We offer RPL Services and flexible learning options to cover a broad suite of CASR Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence categories.
- A (Mechanical) 1-4 – fixed or rotary-wing / gas turbine or piston engines
- B1.1 (Mechanical) fixed-wing aircraft with gas turbine engines,
- B1.2 (Mechanical) fixed-wing aircraft with piston engines,
- B1.3 (Mechanical) rotary-wing aircraft with gas turbine engines,
- B1.4 (Mechanical) rotary-wing aircraft with piston engines,
- B2 (Avionics) fixed and rotary-wing aircraft
To ensure maximum flexibility for employers and busy aircraft maintenance engineers, our programme is conducted via correspondence and our online platform supported by our experienced trainers. Where possible, exams are invigilated in the workplace. Where this is not possible, travel may be required to undertake invigilated assessments as required by CASA.
To apply for RPL, please click the Apply button and upload relevant records. We will provide further instructions upon receipt.
