Is a Certificate IV Right For Me?

You do not necessarily need to hold a formal management title. Your eligibility is based on the work you have performed and the evidence you can provide.

Take our Qualification Quiz

You may be suited to Certificate IV-level RPL if you regularly:

Work independently and make decisions within your role
Coordinate tasks, projects, operations, or team activities
Apply workplace policies, procedures, or legislation
Identify and resolve workplace problems
Contribute to safety, compliance, quality, or risk management
Communicate with internal and external stakeholders
Guide, support, or supervise other employees
Produce reports, plans, records, or other workplace documentation

Why Choose a Certificate IV?

Develop your skills and knowledge for multiple industries, from defence to police to the public sector. Gain recognised qualifications without further study.

RPL assesses the skills and knowledge you have developed through work and other relevant experience. It allows you to gain formal recognition without repeating any areas you’ve already learned.

Certificate IV qualifications commonly support progression into team leadership, coordination, specialist, compliance, advisory, and supervisory roles.
