RTOs

Streamline the RPL process without compromising compliance or quality

SkillsAware comprehensively maps a student’s evidence and experience to units of competency, greatly reducing the administrative burden on both students and RTOs

Transition from a fully manual process to an AI supported solution

The typical Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process is a vital skills pathway, one that is often not taken by a student due to the complex RPL assessment tools and the need to collate large volumes of evidence, and there is often a significant financial and administrative drain for RTOs. Internal costs are substantial, ranging drastically, often between $880 and $2,200+ per application, stemming from the high cost of manual, human-intensive assessment

SkillsAware is a productivity tool that revolutionises how you manage evidence gathering, skills and knowledge mapping to units of competency (UoC). We keep the human-in-the-loop and streamline and expedite the RPL process without compromising compliance or quality

Real-Time Gap Flagging

The Core Challenge - The Cost and Complexity of Compliance

VET standards require rigorous, defensible evidence of competence

The inherent challenges of RPL make this difficult

High cost of human assessment

Meticulously reviewing portfolios and conducting interviews is time-consuming for expert assessors, driving up internal costs

Inconsistent evidence

Incomplete or disorganised evidence from applicants drastically increases follow-up time and internal costs

Subjectivity risk

Traditional manual processes can influence subjectivity, which can expose the RTO to compliance risk under audit

SkillsAware's Solution - AI-Powered Precision for Quality and Efficiency

SkillsAware is designed to provide information to take targeted action, working in partnership with RTOs and assessors:

Collect and present evidence

Our AI-powered skills recognition engine will collect, collate, and present skill potential as a result of its interaction with the individual

Real-time gap flagging

Low scores on evidence signals gaps at a granular (performance criteria) level, triggering the need for either more evidence or the need to train to the gap

Human-centred control

We streamline and expedite the RPL process without compromising compliance or quality. The assessor makes the final decision after reviewing and validating the evidence in the comprehensive digital file
