What is RPL, and how does it work?

RPL, or Recognition of Prior Learning, is a process that assesses your existing skills and knowledge to grant you formal qualifications. It involves a review of your experience and evidence, allowing you to gain recognition for your expertise.

How long does the RPL process take?

The duration of the RPL process can vary based on your experience and the qualification you're pursuing. Generally you get your qualification within a few weeks of submitting your evidence of learning.

Why is formal qualification important for bricklayers?

Formal qualification is crucial for bricklayers as it not only validates your skills but also opens doors to higher-paying job opportunities and ensures compliance with industry standards and safety protocols.

Can I get a trades licence if I've been working for many years but lack formal qualifications?

To get a trades licence for bricklaying, you’ll need a nationally recognised qualification. Getting certified through RPL is specifically designed for individuals like you who have substantial on-the-job experience. It validates your skills and awards you with the qualification that you can then use to apply for your trades licence.
