Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows a worker's on-road experience to be recognised towards a qualification. Traffio builds the evidence package for you by pulling the worker's completed jobs, along with the documents, traffic guidance schemes and activities attached to them, into a single shareable package.
You will need the following permission toggle to create and edit RPL records.
If you do not currently have access, please reach out to your Traffio administrator for assistance.
Note: If you do NOT have permissions to view personal information, you will still be able to create an RPL record, however the person's email address from their profile will not be pre-filled or accessible to you.
Creating an RPL Record

Select the person you want to create the record for
Select RPL in the employees overview

By default if the person's profile has an email address it will be *prefilled. *Unless you lack the permissions for it.Select the RPL Category from the drop-down (for example, Traffic Controller)

Finalising & Sharing the Package
An RPL record moves through three states: Draft and Finalised.

Click Preview to check the package before it goes out
Click Share
The worker is emailed a link to their package. Once shared, the Share button becomes Resend email.
The package link is live, not an attachment. If evidence is added later, the worker & their RTO will see the updated package at the same link. The package shows a Data current as of date & time so it is clear how recent the information is.
What the Field Worker Receives
The worker receives an email titled Your Recognition of Prior Learning package, showing their category, period & total hours, with a press here link to open the package.
The package itself displays:
The worker's name, category, period & total hours
A QR code & your company details, including ABN
Every evidence job with its date, road category, hours, crew size & activities
Links to the attached SWMS, traffic guidance schemes & other documents
A link to the works docket for each job
IMPORTANT: Currently RPL packages are permanent webpages that do not ever expire. Functionality to determine this time frame is currently under development.
