How does RPL differ from traditional learning methods?

RPL recognises and assesses your existing skills, knowledge, and experience to grant you a qualification. It eliminates the need to undergo formal training for what you already know, saving you time and money.

What evidence do I need to provide for RPL assessment?

The evidence can include work samples, references, certifications, job descriptions, and more. It should demonstrate your competence in the relevant field and confirm that you meet the required standards for the qualification.

How long does the RPL process usually take?

While the exact timeframe may differ, RPL offers a streamlined pathway to recognition, and with the support of Skills Certified Australia, the process can be completed efficiently and within a few weeks.

Why RPL is more Cost Effective than Traditional Training.

If you’re weighing up whether to enrol in a course or not, take a look at how RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) can get you qualified faster and cheaper.

Why get qualified

Being certified for your skills can have a significant impact on your career progression. In Australia, nationally recognised qualifications can open up new opportunities, increase your earning potential and even help you launch your own business

Let’s explore how formal qualifications benefit professionals in a few different industries:

Trades

In many states, trades such as plumbing, electrical work, or carpentry, you need to have a licence to carry out work as a qualified tradesperson. Not only do these qualifications provide you with the necessary technical knowledge and skills, but they also give you a competitive edge in the job market when applying for contracts where having a trade is part of the criteria. For example, obtaining a Certificate III in Plumbing and Services – CPC40920 awarded by Construction Trades College (RTO:40250) could lead to a plumbing licence, allowing you to take on more complex projects and even hire apprentices to expand your business.

In the field of community services, formal qualifications like a Certificate III in Community Services – (CHC32015), or Diploma of Community Services – CHC52015, can demonstrate your expertise and commitment to making a positive impact in people’s lives. These qualifications provide you with a comprehensive understanding of social issues, ethical practices, and effective communication, enabling you to excel in roles such as support worker, case manager, or community development officer.

Hospitality

In the fast-paced world of hospitality, formal qualifications like a Diploma in Hospitality Management – SIT50416 awarded by Frontier Training and Technology (RTO: 21244) can significantly enhance your prospects in getting a leadership position. This Diploma demonstrates that you possess the necessary skills in customer service, food preparation, and team management, making you an attractive candidate for supervisory or management positions in hotels, restaurants, or catering businesses.

Why get certified through RPL

Rather than taking the time out to undertake traditional study for knowledge and skills that you already have, RPL provides a pathway getting certified. You can gain recognition for their skills and experience, opening doors to further career advancement. Whether you’re looking to enhance your qualifications in trades, community services, or hospitality, or anything else – RPL offers a cost-effective and efficient route to achieve your goals.
