Recognised Prior Learning (RPL)

Australasian Drilling Institute (ADI) offers this qualification through a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway.

The RPL process recognises your existing experience gained through life or work for which you may not have obtained a formal qualification. We will work with you to identify your existing skills and assess if you can then achieve a full or partial qualification. This also helps to avoid unnecessary duplication of training, saving you time and money.

Under an RPL pathway you will be required to gather and submit valid, current (preferably under 6 months old, however assessment of currency remains the discretion of the Assessor), authentic and sufficient evidence to demonstrate your existing drilling knowledge and skills to meet the qualification requirements.

RPL Entry Requirements: Participants should be employed as a Drilling Project Manager or Operations Manager; or have extensive prior senior leadership experience and access to a drill site/sufficient evidence where competencies can be demonstrated and/or verified. 

The expected completion timeline for this Qualification is 12 months
