Qualification Questions
The Australian Government provides a service for international students to have their overseas tertiary qualifications recognised. See Qualifications Recognition.
An RTO can consider experience gained from overseas when evaluating an application for RPL. Evidence must be validated in the same way as evidence produced form within Australia.
The first step in the RPL process is a preliminary assessment to determine which qualifications you could be eligible for, provided you have the requisite evidence. This is free and we don’t need a full suite of evidence at this stage – just a current position description and a resume. It’s always good to know what your options are. Then, if you progress, we can advise you on obtaining the evidence you need.
People who have gotten qualifications through RPL after leaving Defence have gone on to get jobs in mining, in various government departments or organisations and in the private sector. Read stories about RPL here.
