Typically, a minimum of 2 years of work experience in the field of study is expected, although each case will be assessed individually. To support their application, mature-age students are encouraged to submit evidence of their work experience, such as an employment reference letter on company letterhead, work samples, and a comprehensive curriculum vitae.

If RPL is granted, the course duration and volume of learning will be adjusted accordingly, recognizing the prior knowledge and skills of the individual learner.
