Recognition of Prior Learning
If you’re thinking about studying or training, think first about what skills you already have. You may be able to reduce the time it takes to get your qualification—you may not need to study at all. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is about the skills and knowledge you’ve gained through work and life experiences. For example:
- Working in an office could help you get a certificate in business administration.
- Working on a farm could count towards a qualification in agriculture or mechanics.
- Working as a volunteer with teenagers may get you a certificate in youth work
RPL applies for both paid and unpaid work.
How are my skills assessed?
Your skills will be assessed against industry standards. This is done by an RPL assessor. You may be asked to:
- perform tasks or jobs
- talk about and explain how you do those jobs
- Provide samples of your work.
A visit to your workplace may be organised so you can demonstrate your abilities. You may have to provide job descriptions, references or performance appraisals.
The assessor will consider your skills and knowledge and match them against a suitable qualification.
How does RPL process help?
- To get promoted in the existing job or a pay rise.
- To apply for an Australian work visa. (Please refer to a registered migration agent)
- To join Australian workforce in the relevant industry.
