Overview

Are you a security risk professional wanting to formalise your skills? If the answer’s yes, you may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Securing a qualification through RPL recognises your hard work in practical situations. It assesses the skills and knowledge already developed throughout your security career, allowing you to gain nationally recognised qualifications that are respected by employers across Australia.

The benefit of RPL is that you don’t have to sit in a classroom and study things you already know. Instead, you’ll simply need to demonstrate current, relevant evidence of your abilities as a security risk professional. Having these qualifications also shows you’re ready for a promotion or helps you switch to a new industry, giving your career that extra boost.
