RPL pathway

What is the ACS RPL assessment pathway?

RPL stands for Recognition of Prior Learning. This pathway assesses ICT knowledge gained through professional work rather than tertiary qualifications.

ACS currently requires at least six years of relevant professional ICT work experience for this pathway. Your most recent experience must be active or completed within two years before submission.

Relevant employment must usually include at least 20 paid hours each week.

Who may need ACS RPL guidance?

  • You rely mainly on professional ICT experience for your assessment.
  • You need to select two strong and recent career projects.
  • You are unsure how to show your personal technical contribution.
  • Your job title differs from your intended ANZSCO occupation.
  • Your reports and employment evidence need a consistency check.
  • You need help organising Professional Currency Evidence.
Important: ACS decides whether your experience meets the pathway requirements. No third-party service can confirm or guarantee your assessment outcome.
Submission documents

What must an ACS RPL submission include?

A complete RPL application includes several evidence groups. The purpose is not simply to upload more documents, but to make sure each document supports the professional ICT experience you are relying on.

Official requirements

What ACS expects from two RPL Project Reports

ACS requires two Project Reports inside the official Recognition of Prior Learning form. Here is how your reports must be structured.

Last 2 years01 / Report

Project Report One

This report should cover a specific project completed within the last two years of your professional career.

Must highlight recent technical decision-making.
Last 4 years02 / Report

Project Report Two

This report should cover a significant project completed within the last four years of your working history.

Demonstrates sustained technical expertise over time.

Each report should show

Career Episode

A specific career episode from your professional history.

Personal Role and Actions

Your personal role, actions, decisions, and key responsibilities.

ICT Knowledge

Practical use of ICT knowledge in a real professional setting.

Recent Employment

A project directly connected with current or recent employment.

Depth and Breadth

Enough detail to demonstrate the depth and breadth of knowledge.

Clear Sources

Clear sources for quoted, paraphrased, or third-party information.

Non-project roles option

Applicants in non-project roles can describe relevant work situations and professional challenges to demonstrate their competency.

Applicant ownership

Looking for ACS RPL writing help?

ACS states that each RPL Project Report must be entirely your own work and must not be outsourced to a writing or editing agency. That is why our service is positioned as requirement guidance, evidence mapping, and readiness feedback.

Protect your authorship: Use your own project facts, decisions, explanations, and professional knowledge. Do not copy samples, duties, templates, or another applicant's wording.

Project selection

How to select strong RPL projects

Your project choices shape the evidence available across both reports. The strongest examples usually let you explain your own technical decisions, not only the project outcome.

Choose projects that are recent enough, evidence-backed, and clearly connected with your nominated occupation.
01

Recency

The project falls within the required time period.

02

Relevance

The work connects with current or recent employment.

03

Personal contribution

You can separate your actions from team activity.

04

Technical depth

You can explain methods, decisions, tools, and outcomes.

05

Evidence availability

You can support dates, responsibilities, and project facts.

06

ANZSCO connection

The work demonstrates skills relevant to the nominated occupation.

07

Distinct coverage across both reports

The two projects should show different knowledge, responsibilities, or challenges instead of repeating the same evidence twice.

Project report readiness

What we check in each self-written Project Report

These checks help you see whether a self-prepared report has enough context, technical substance, and evidence consistency before submission.

Clear project contextYour personal ICT contributionEvidence that matches documents
01

Project Context

The report should identify the organisation, project purpose, timeframe, environment, and business need.

02

Your Personal Role

The report should separate your responsibilities from team responsibilities.

03

Applied ICT Knowledge

The report should show what you analysed, configured, built, tested, secured, or improved.

04

Decisions and Problem-Solving

The report should explain why you chose specific methods, tools, standards, or controls.

05

Professional Practice

The report should reflect communication, risk awareness, quality, and responsibility where relevant.

06

Evidence Consistency

Project facts should match your references, employment dates, role titles, and supporting records.

ANZSCO relevance

How ANZSCO relevance affects your evidence

ACS assesses whether your work experience relates closely to your nominated ANZSCO occupation. A job title alone does not prove that relationship.

Your duties, project decisions, technical tasks, and level of responsibility provide stronger evidence than the title by itself.

The ACS portal may suggest occupations based on the skills you enter. You can currently select up to three occupations for assessment.

Our ANZSCO relevance check reviews

  • Whether your project work supports your selected occupation.
  • Whether your technical duties show professional ICT depth.
  • Whether your responsibilities match the claimed level of work.
  • Whether the evidence remains consistent across each document.
  • Whether your project examples show enough occupation-specific detail.
  • Whether duties appear copied from an occupation description.
Professional and employment evidence

Your evidence must support your RPL claims

Professional Currency Evidence and employment records should show that your skills are current, relevant, attributable, and connected with your nominated occupation.

01

Professional Training and Certification

This may include relevant vendor certifications, credentials, or non-degree training.

02

Professional Artefacts

This may include attributed code, scripts, applications, databases, publications, awards, patents, or websites.

03

Professional Development

This may include memberships, workshops, seminars, events, speaking activities, or industry engagement.

Employment evidence must support your reports

ACS uses employment references and payment records to verify relevant paid work experience. Your references should accurately describe each employment episode and the duties you performed.

Key reference details may include

  • Company letterhead, employer name, address, and website.
  • Your full name and the letter date.
  • Employment start and end dates.
  • Employment status, weekly hours, salary, and work location.
  • Position title, duty statements, and authorised signatory details.
Duties copied directly from ANZSCO descriptions or another reference may not be accepted. Your RPL reports should not introduce work that your employment evidence cannot support.
