Are you considering advancing your career with further qualifications? Do you want to make a career change? Or maybe you are thinking about expanding your knowledge in your field. However, when you look at the qualifications required, you may notice that you already have experience with over half the topics. It is a waste of time and money to study things you already know. So, what to do? That is where Rpl certification comes in.

Define RPL

RPL means recognition of prior learning. It is an assessment exam that tests your current knowledge and skills to decide if you can gain credit for your past experiences. By combining all your past experiences, Rpl certification reduces the time it takes for you to pass a qualification and save your money. You do not have to take offline or online classes and study dozens of books on topics you already know about.

Why Should You Apply for RPL?

There are many benefits to applying for Rpl courses. If you have work experience, you do not have to study the topics you know about. You should research reading materials and finish assignments on topics you already have experience with.

However, if you do not have the knowledge, skills, or experience required, RPL courses may not be for you. It is impossible to obtain a certification if you cannot share proof or complete the assessment.

Are you unsure? Do you have work experience but cannot share documented proof? We suggest doing the work and completing assessments and reading materials, and you may end up learning something in the process.

Who Can Apply for RPL?

Your eligibility depends on your qualification. Rpl qualifications are for people with recent or current knowledge, skills, and experience in the required field covered by their course.

Let’s consider your course is about managing finances. To apply for Rpl qualifications, you will require a few years of work experience in managing finances and would need to share your work plans and finance ledger as part of your proof.

We offer an assessment process for every student that contacts us to help them determine if they are eligible for this qualification. Your assessment results can help us identify if you shall be eligible for RPL.

If you are eligible as per the assessment, you contain the experience and background for your qualification. However, that does not mean you are granted that certification, and you will still have to put together a proper portfolio for submission.

Contact us if you are ready for an assessment.

Obtain an RPL Certification with Minimal Costs

Each applicant has a process. Hence, when an RTO accepts you, ask them to help you. Usually, to obtain a certification for one or more units, you must prepare a submission. Your submission will include a proof portfolio like undertakings and documents of your experience and an assessment interview.

If the interview and portfolio are approved, you are granted RPL for your unit.

Difference between credit transfer and RPL

Credit transfer is different from RPL. Credit transfer entails examining your studies, like university qualifications, to decide if your past courses and grades count towards your current diploma or certification course.

Here you will complete a process to determine if your previous course is equal to the current course and if the learning outcomes will be similar. However, this process has rules that the government enforces.

For example, the unit must be equivalent to or the same as the current unit. If you completed a unit four years ago, it might no longer be equal to your current unit. This happens because the courses are often updated based on government recommendations every few years. Hence, the past course may no longer be equivalent to your new course.
