5 steps to securing your Trades Qualification

What is RPL?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), also known as experience, knowledge, and skill assessment, enables you to earn a nationally recognised credential or statement of attainment based on the knowledge and skills you have already acquired through prior experience, which may have been obtained through formal training or unofficial (on-the-job) learning.

RPL is significant in several ways:

It indicates that your prior professional experience, knowledge, and talents have received official recognition. It protects you from having to receive training or teaching in subjects that you are already knowledgeable about and adept at. It may shorten the time it takes for you to earn a complete qualification.
