Following updates to the 2023 to 2024 funding rules, apprentices aged 16 to 18 do not require an RPL assessment, unless they have:
- previously enrolled in an apprenticeship; or other training that is aligned to IfATE’s occupational standards in the same sector (see rule 27.4 to 27.5); or 25.2.
- they have relevant prior work experience (see rule 24.1.2)
