Overall a good experience.
Steph has been easy to deal with and helpful along the process, thanks to her I could successfully obtain a certificate 3.
Just keep in mind that the person collecting your informations and proofs might not be in the same professional activity sector than you, which can sometimes be a bit frustrating when having to explain specific tasks or videos.

I'm so thankful to Qualify Me! RPL for helping me gain my Diploma in Early Childhood Education. The entire process was smooth and straightforward, with clear guidance on the evidence I needed to provide.

I want to give a huge thank you to Kyle, who was absolutely amazing throughout the whole journey. From the very beginning, she was kind, supportive, and incredibly professional. She always took the time to explain things clearly, followed up with me regularly, and made sure I never felt overwhelmed or lost. Kyle’s communication was always prompt and encouraging—she truly went above and beyond to ensure I stayed on track.

What I appreciated most was how genuinely she cared about helping me succeed. Her positivity, patience, and dedication made a big difference and turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable and empowering experience.

I'm beyond grateful to both Kyle and Qualify Me! RPL. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to have their qualifications recognised.
