There are a number of different ways to get a qualification without studying, all of which usually involve either practical hands on experience (like an apprenticeship) or a test of your knowledge. Skills Certified Australia gives you the chance to get a qualification quickly and easily through the recognition of prior learning (RPL). This involves taking your previous knowledge in an industry and assessing your competency and demonstrable skills. This is carried out by a qualified assessor and if successful, you will receive a nationally recognised qualification – without studying!
What are the Benefits of RPL?
There are a huge number of benefits that can be gained from RPL. It is a quick and easy way of opening new career pathways and getting a new job. If you have experience in an industry, then you might find that the RPL process is perfect for you! The benefits of RPL include:- Having your qualifications recognised can lead to better and broader job opportunities, which will have benefits for both your career and your lifestyle.
