1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Online RPL is GQA’s innovative solution to the challenges faced by RPL Applicants, Account
Managers, Assessors, and RTOs during the RPL/Skills Recognition process. This new
platform is a website that enables Applicants to upload and share evidences through a
user-friendly, frictionless, cloud-based, self-service system. Online RPL will also provide a
single platform for Account Managers, Assessors and RTOs to review and decide on
Applicant’s evidences.
2 BUSINESS OBJECTIVES/GOALS
This project has 3 main business objectives:
1. Provide GQ RPL Applicants a cloud-based solution to complete their RPL
journey – As a business that provides Skills Recognition service to RPL Applicants,
the business aims to provide a first-in-class, user-friendly solution to its customers
by utilizing the cloud and the latest technology available for multiple devices:
desktop, mobile and tablets.
2. Provide GQ RPL Account Managers a cloud-based solution to facilitate
successful RPL for Applicants – As a business providing Skills Recognition service
to professionals seeking qualifications without classroom study, the Account
Managers are the Applicant’s main contact and facilitates the RPL Journey. They also
liaise with Assessors and RTOs on behalf of the Applicant, making them most
productive if working from a centralized, cloud-based platform.
3. Provide GQ Partner Assessors and RTOs a cloud-based solution to review
evidences from RPL Applicants – The business provides nationally-recognized
qualifications, and with such would need professional Assessors and accredited RTOs
to review and grant the qualification. These stakeholders would benefit from a
cloud-based platform where they can log in and review assigned Applicant portfolios.

4.1 FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Features of the platform Benefits of feature
Multi-level user log in
Log in, rights and UI depending on
specific user types.
User experience
Different log ins would give each user
sufficient rights and specific UI that would
help them focus on what they need to do.
Modular
Elements are card-based which can be
easily activated or deactivated based on
rights assigned. These cards/modules
can also be re-used between user logins
and can be improved individually in the
future.
Iteration and enhancements-ready
The modular nature of the platform would
allow Product Management to improve on
individual elements without redoing the
whole platform every time. Big
opportunity to add Marketing upsell
widgets and billing function in the
future.
Fully self-service unit evidences
management
Users can now choose their elective
units and upload evidences in one,
intuitive cloud-based platform.
Statuses are also real-time, and
Account Managers are now a message
away.
Power to the people
GQA customers can now manage their own
evidences, read about their qualifications,
know their Qualification’s status, know what
is still lacking, etc. This gives the business
more flexibility in terms of staffing, more
manageable customer service, lesser status
enquiries via calls or emails.
One platform for Applicant and GQA
communication
The messaging center allows for one
communication hub between applicants
and their account manager, between
internal GQA users.
Notifications are regularly sent for user
account changes, quals updates, unit
updates, messages, system notices,
etc.
Can also send Promotion messages to
be sent to all users.
No more lost emails or conversations
A single communication hub would lessen
missing emails or unreceived messages.
Every message is logged and history of
conversations are kept for future reference.
Marketing and sales promotions can also be
sent to all users.
Opportunity to add social messaging
between applicants in the future.
Applicants can exchange tips, advice,
and possibly give way to referrals.
Also, mass messaging
Large-capacity storage
Each user is allotted 20gb space for all
his/her evidences and files.
After 6 months, all files are archived.
One place to store and get everything
The single repository helps Account
Managers retrieve all evidences from one
place. There would be no need to open
other paid online storage accounts.

9. 9
Upload any document file format
from any device or from the
Evidence library
User can upload either from their
desktop, from their mobile device, or
from their Evidence Library.

time for Applicants to prepare their
evidences. No need for video or audio
manual video conversions, no need to scan
as they can use their phone to take pictures
of their documents.
Help section, and Website feedback
form
Users will have FAQs available any time,
as well as leave website feedback easily
using the help sticky tag.
Constant improvement
Feedback collected will be used for
conceptualization of future enhancements
and iterations of the platform.
