RPL and You
you if you want to:
- Secure a new job or internal promotion
- Change industries or professions
- Increase your career security
- Meet industry compliance requirements
- Gain credit towards university study
- Re-enter the workforce
Being awarded qualifications through RPL means that you don’t have to study what you already know. Instead you provide workplace examples that you already have the knowledge and skills that studying the qualification would give you.
Workplace examples for an RPL assessment can be attained through both paid and voluntary work, in Australia and overseas.
Qualifications gained through RPL range from Certificates and Diplomas up to Advanced Diplomas and Graduate Diplomas.
Being awarded nationally recognised qualifications through RPL shows employers what you know, and gives you an important feeling of self-worth. A minimum of six months of relevant experience is required and the experience cited in your workplace examples must be from the last five years.
