What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that turns your existing work experience and skills into a nationally recognised qualification.
Instead of sitting through classes or exams, how RPL works is that you provide evidence of what you already do at work, and a qualified assessor maps it against the qualification you are aiming for. If your experience matches the qualification level and content, you can earn an RPL certificate and get real-world qualifications.
RPL is the fastest, most direct way for experienced professionals to gain formal recognition for the expertise they’ve built on the job. Contact us to see what RPL courses and certificates you’re eligible for.
Who is RPL for?
RPL benefits many Australians across all industries. If you work in one of these industries, you’re in a prime position to get qualifications through RPL, meaning you can switch careers or earn promotions more easily.
