Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is undertaken through a streamlined assessment process that takes a practical approach maximising the use of on-site questioning, observation and verification of workplace competency through a discussion with a previous or current workplace supervisor. Assessments are conducted this way to assist assessors in obtaining a full picture of the candidate’s skills and knowledge. This can then be compared with industry standards & training package requirement enabling a determination of whether the candidate has achieved the required outcomes.
RPL is a form of assessment that acknowledges skills and knowledge gained through:
- Formal training & Informal training
- Work experience
- Life experience
The main purpose of RPL is to use existing skills, knowledge and experience to gain a nationally recognised qualification. Benefits of RPL Gaining a formal qualification through RPL can further your career and lifestyle. Save time Boost career and education opportunities Receive a nationally recognised qualification Possible university course credit exemptions
If eligible for RPL, the duration of your course is calculated based on the experience you have working in the industry, and whether you will be applying for Credit Transfers using any previous certificates you may hold.
Further study may be required if we are unable to “RPL” all of units you wish to RPL for your course. Basically, we will train you further in the areas required to ensure you will be able to upskill yourself.
