Qualify Me!

RPL stands for Recognition of Prior Learning. As the name suggests, RPL providers such as Qualify Me can provide you with a nationally recognised qualification simply by assessing your prior work experience. There is no classroom study and zero interruptions to your work and life schedule. Recognition of Prior Learning assesses what you already know and checking if it matches the qualification you want to obtain. The best part is that it takes into consideration formal, non-formal and informal learning.

To receive your RPL certificate, all you need to do is apply to Qualify Me. You'll need to provide evidence to support your application. This may include documents such as a report or a portfolio of work samples, or evidence of assessment activities, such as work observations or interviews.

All Qualify Me RPL qualifications and certifications are nationally recognised across Australia. That means no matter which state you travel to, you can enjoy the increased earning potential and career benefits from your RPL qualification.

Simply start your 60 second free skills assessment and an assessor will contact you to confirm your eligibility.

Anyone who has previous knowledge, experience, or skills that are relevant to the course of study that they want to complete can apply for  this process regardless of whether your training or experience was in Australia or abroad. To be successful, you need to be able to provide evidence of the skills and knowledge you have gained.

1) Take advantage of the current skills shortage: Did you know that Australia is in the middle of a 23 year low skills shortage? With skills and staff shortages, come increased demand and income for tradies. A recent "a current affair" article on this staggering skills shortage  states  that "The national apprenticeship completion rate is at a worrying 55.7 per cent low, the National Centre for Vocational Education Research data revealed." By getting your RPL qualification, you set yourself apart from unqualified tradies and you put yourself in position to maximise your income and business revenue.

2) Career progression: In a competitive industry, the edge always goes to those who have experience and recognition. That's why becoming qualified with RPL is the best and fastest way to progressing your career.

increased earning potential: qualified blue-collar and white-collar Australian's earn, on average 30% more than non-qualified Australians.

3) Ability to apply for your trade ticket/licence to start your own business: An industry ticket/licence is not the same as a RPL qualification/certificate. However, the requirement to apply for your industry ticket/licence from the state authority (eg: Fair Trading NSW) requires that you already possess certain qualifications/certificates. Qualify Me RPL provides the required qualifications that are required to gain your industry licence.

4) Earn more Money: At the end of the day, a RPL qualification translates into increasing your earning potential. You would not be reading this otherwise. Most of our students come to us because they want financial freedom. Our students want to go from earning a salary to earning dividends and running their own business where their income is limitless. We hear from past students every day that have moved from living paycheck to paycheck, who have become qualified with RPL and now run multi million dollar businesses. It all starts with a Free 60 Second Skills Assessment.

For most trades industries, an industry ticket / licence is required before you can perform work under your own business. For example, you need a building licence before you can do any residential building work in NSW valued at more than $5000 (incl GST) in labour and materials.

Here are the steps to starting your own business:

1) Gain required qualifications/certificates using RPL with Qualify Me!

All our students get a free business start up package once they get qualified.

2) Apply to the state authority (eg: Fair Trading NSW) for your industry licence/ticket

To receive your RPL qualification/certification, we use your past experience and knowledge to prove your eligibility. There are three main areas that are considered during the process. These are:

1) Existing work experience. The practical work experience you have gained to date may have provided you with solid skills and knowledge that are of relevance to a course of study. Work experience may be informal, formal, full time, part time, voluntary, or paid.

2) Existing qualifications. You may have completed educational courses that have provided you with knowledge and understanding that is of relevance to the course of study. For example, if you have another TAFE course or unit, this may count as credit toward a different qualification.

3) Life skills and experience. Your general life experiences and the skills you have developed over time may also count toward the qualification you wish to complete.
