Education RPL
You can get a qualification through RPL while working full-time in education,as this assessment process requires no further study. Instead, it recognises the skills and knowledge you’ve already developed through your education career, and means you won’t have to study what you already know.
There is a wide variety of qualifications you can gain through RPL to boost your education career, depending on your goals and current experience. Educators hoping to progress into more senior roles may choose a Certificate IV, Diploma, or Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management. Those working in the HR side of education may prefer a Human Resource Management qualification, ranging from a Certificate IV to an Advanced Diploma.
Apply for a qualification that demonstrates your experience in education through RPL by booking a complementary assessment with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) like Churchill Education. An experienced advisor will map your existing skills and knowledge and recommend the qualifications you’re eligible for, based on the evidence you provide.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that turns the skills and knowledge developed during your education career into nationally recognised qualifications. Your experience is matched against the requirements of each unit within the desired qualification, and you’re then awarded the credentials without completing any further study or training.
